I. History, Purpose and
Programs
History of the College
Armstrong State College was founded on May 27, 1935, as
Armstrong Junior College, by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Savannah to meet a pressing need for a college in the community.
The college was housed in the Armstrong Building, a gift to the city
from the family of George F. Armstrong, and over the years built or
acquired five additional buildings in the Forsyth Park and Mon-
terey Square areas. The college, as Armstrong College of Savan-
nah, became a two-year unit in the University System of Georgia on
January 1, 1959, under the control of the Regents of the University
System. In 1962, the Mills B. Lane Foundation purchased a new
campus site of over 200 acres located on Abercorn Extension. The
new campus, with eight new buildings, was occupied in December,
1965.
In 1964, the regents conferred upon Armstrong the status of a
four-year college, with the right to offer the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Business Administra-
tion. President Henry L. Ashmore, who succeeded President Fore-
man M. Hawes on July 1, 1964, was charged with the responsibility
of developing the institution from junior to senior status. A junior
year was added to the college curriculum in 1966-67, with the senior
year added in 1967-68 and the first four-year degrees awarded at
the spring, 1968 commencement. The college now offers more than
twenty major programs leading to baccalaureate degrees, and, in
addition, the two-year associate degree in a number of academic
areas. Effective in the 1971-72 academic year, the Board of Regents
of the University System of Georgia authorized Armstrong State
College and Savannah State College to offer joint programs leading
to the M.B.A. and M.S. in Elementary Education degrees. Addi-
tional programs in Teacher Education at the secondary level were
initiated Summer Quarter, 1972.
As the result of approval in early 1979 by the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare of the Georgia Plan for Further
Desegregation of Higher Education, all Business Administration
programs were transferred from Armstrong State College to
Savannah State College in September, 1979, and all Teacher Edu-
cation programs were transferred from Savannah State to
Armstrong State on that date. With this exchange of programs,
Armstrong offers the only degree programs in Teacher Education
at the baccalaureate and graduate levels in the immediate geo-
graphical area.
Armstrong State College is designated a Health Professions
Education Center. Programs in Dental Hygiene (associate and bac-
calaureate), Medical Record Technology, Medical Technology,
Nursing (associate and baccalaureate) and Respiratory Therapy
have clinical learning experiences in the large variety of excellent
11
medical resources of Savannah and its environs. New programs will
be implemented over a ten year period giving students a full range
of educational opportunity to prepare for careers in the health pro-
fessions.
The academic community includes approximately 3,000 students
and 140 full-time faculty members. Armstrong State College was
fully accredited as a senior institution by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools in December, 1968, with accreditation ret-
roactive to January 1, 1968, and was re-accredited in December,
1972.
Purpose
Armstrong State College is a multi-purpose institution offering
degree programs in the liberal arts, sciences, and a number of
specialized fields. As a service to the community, it also provides a
continuing education program for those who have non-degree ob-
jectives. The College strives to maintain the flexibility and adapta-
bility which activated its growth and change of status in less than
thirty-five years from a small city-supported junior college to a
senior college in the University System of Georgia. Therefore, the
College defines its present purpose in the following terms:
to provide modern facilities and a professional staff in an envi-
ronment that promotes the free exchange of ideas;
to bring each student to a better realization of his own intellec-
tual, emotional, and spiritual potential by providing academic pro-
grams in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences;
to develop the student's technical and analytical skills through
programs leading to professional degrees in a number of areas,
including Health Professions, Criminal Justice, and Teacher Edu-
cation;
to offer opportunities for continuing education through sym-
posia, conferences, institutes, and courses unrelated to degree
programs;
to make available the full resources of the College through in-
volement in research projects, public service activities, and other
programs sponsored by the community.
Pre-Professional Programs
Armstrong State College offers courses appropriate for the first
two years of baccalaureate programs such as engineering, forestry,
industrial management, pharmacy, physical therapy, physics, etc.,
not offered among its degree programs; the pre-professional study
appropriate for dentistry, law, medicine, veterinary medicine, and
other professional fields.

13
tion (Behavior Disorders) as well as in the secondary teaching fields

ogy, Chemistry, English, History, and Political Science are availa-
ble as options without teacher certification requirements.) The

further professional growth, for expanding professional and cul-
tural backgrounds, and for extending knowledge and understand-
ing in an area of specialty.
For complete information about these programs, contact the Of-
fice of Graduate Studies.
MILITARY SCIENCE (ROTC) PROGRAMS
Armstrong State College has available to its students Army and
Navy Reserve Officer TrainingCorps programs. The Army Military
Science Department operates on the Armstrong campus, and its
program is described fully in section IX of this catalogue. The Navy
ROTC program operates on the Savannah State College campus
but is available to students enrolled at Armstrong.
In order to participate in the Army ROTC program, see section IX
of this catalogue. For the Navy ROTC program, qualified male or
female students at Armstrong State College may enroll in the pro-
gram at Savannah State. Full tuition scholarships for students
desiring to be either Army, Navy, or Marine Corps officers are
available. Most majors are acceptable with entry level at either the
incoming freshman or prospective junior level. For further infor-
mation on these programs, consult the Registrar at Armstrong
State College; the Commanding Officer of the ROTC Units at
Savannah State College or Armstrong; or the appropriate sections
of the catalogs of the two colleges.
Government Internship Programs
Students at Armstrong State College may participate in two
state-wide internship programs; the Georgia Intern Program and
the State Legislative Intern Program. These programs provide the
student with opportunities to observe first-hand and to participate
in agency and legislative processes as he works under the direction
of and is responsible to an agency or legislative supervisor. In addi-
tion to state-wide internship programs, students may participate in
local internship experiences. They may receive academic credit for
these experiences. They must be enrolled full-time at the College
and must be in good academic standing. For further details con-
cerning the requirements for internship programs at the College,
please consult the Head of the Department of History and Political
Science.
Evening Classes
In addition to the full daytime schedule, Armstrong offers a
schedule of classes in the evening. Students employed during the
day should limit their enrollment to one or two courses each quar-
ter.
14
Senior Citizens
Residents of Georgia, sixty-two years of age or older at the time of
registration, may enroll in courses for credit or as auditors on a
space available basis, with waiver of matriculation fees. They will
be required, however, to pay for supplies, etc., that might be neces-
sary for a given course. The individual must present a birth certifi-
cate or other comparable documentation of age to qualify for the
waiver of fees and must meet all requirements for admission to the
college. Further information on this program is available from the
Office of Admissions.
Community Services-Continuing Education
Armstrong State College is committed to the concept that an
academic institution should attempt to reach out and serve the
community of which it is a part. This service includes the extension
of the resources of the campus to individuals and groups that are
not a part of the regular academic community and the use of the
college's special competence to assist in the solution of community
problems.
The Community Services division, under the direction of the
Dean for College and Community Services, is responsible for the
coordination of all community services/continuing education ac-
tivities on campus. Since these activities are viewed as a college-
wide function, responsibility for program development is shared
with the various academic departments. The major community
services/continuing education components of the college are the
short course/conference program and the off-campus credit class
program.
Armstrong State College participates with Savannah State Col-
lege in operating a joint continuing education center at 427
Drayton Street. This center is designed to combine the resources of
the two colleges in providing continuing education activities for
national, regional, and state groups in a downtown center.
Short Courses/Conference Program. This unit administers non-
degree courses, conferences, and seminars designed to provide for
the educational needs of area residents who do not wish to partici-
pate in the regular credit classes offered by the college. Many of
these activities are related to professional development experi-
ences. The Office of the Registrar maintains permanent records of
the individual's participation in those activities that meet certain
criteria. The Coordinator of Short Courses/Conferences is pleased
to arrange an activity of special interest and value to community
groups and organizations.
Off -Campus Credit Class Program. In order to provide education
opportunities for specific groups of area residents, the college
makes available credit classes at off -cam pus locations convenient
to the students involved. These classes are conducted in strict con-
formity with college standards and with policies of the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Dean for College
15
and Community services and the Deans of the Schools will work
with interested parties in organization of these classes.
Neighborhood Continuing Education Program. This program is
part of the cooperative endeavor of Armstrong State College and
Savannah State College. Located in the central city, this program
provides continuing education activities for low income residents.
Its major objective is to utilize the combined resources of the
cooperating institutions to provide educational experiences suited
to the needs of the citizens within the inner city area.
Use of Facilities by Community Groups. As a tax supported unit
of the University System of Georgia, the college makes available its
facilities to certain community groups when such usage does not
interfere with college-sponsored activities and when such usage is
for an activity of cultural, educational, or civic significance. College
facilities will not be made available to (1) profit-seeking organiza-
tions; (2) community groups that are sponsoring events for the pur-
pose of making a profit; (3) religious groups; (4) groups sponsoring
activities that compete or conflict with college programs. A
schedule of usage fees is available in the Office of the Dean for
College and Community Services.
Proctoring Examinations. The Community Services division
cooperates with the Georgia Center for Continuing Education
(University of Georgia) through service as a center at which exami-
nations are proctored for students enrolled in independent study
(correspondence) courses. A booklet describing these courses is
available upon request. Examinations from other colleges and
examinations by professional societies can also be proctored.
Examination proctoring is by prior arrangement only. Students
using this service are encouraged to check with the division office
prior to the date for the examination to make certain that the
examination materials are on hand.
Office of Development
The purpose of the Office of Development is to promote funding
for college programs from sources supplemental to state appropria-
tions and student fees. To accomplish this purpose, the college par-
ticipates in federal and other grant supported activities and seeks
assistance from alumni and friends. From private sources, the Col-
lege accepts memorial and other gifts for the athletic program,
instructional equipment, library books, matching funds for grants,
scholarships, and other restricted purposes. Unrestricted contribu-
tions are accepted to be used at the discretion of the President to
meet special and unforeseen needs. Gifts of any size can be used to
add to the library collection in the name of an individual or an
agency, although all gifts are acknowledged and published, where
appropriate and when requested, by the donor's name. Gifts for
scholarships are generally received by the College in one of two
ways: the donor specifies support or choice of specific students, with
the College serving only as a distribution agent; or the donor
specifies support of student scholarships generally or scholarships
within a broad academic field, with the College identifying the gift
16
by name, if appropriate, and distributing the funds according to
standard policies and procedures. Gifts of this latter type are tax
deductible. The Director of Development is pleased to provide
further information to any prospective donor.
Office of Computer Services
This office coordinates the campus-wide system of computer serv-
ices. The Director also provides technical assistance to the faculty
and staff of the college in the development of computer programs
and systems. Through participation in the University System
Computer Network, information processing devices located on
campus are connected via a direct telephone line to the large com-
puters located at Georgia State University and the University of
Georgia.
Student Exchange Program with
Savannah State College
A student enrolled at Savannah State College or at Armstrong
State College as a full-time student has the privilege of taking one
course with his Dean's approval at the other college without paying
an additional fee. No restrictions are placed on the number of
courses taken at the other college if the student is enrolled in the
joint program in Social Work. In this program, however, the stu-
dent must enroll in major area courses only to receive unrestricted
enrollment privileges. The colleges operate a shuttlebus service
between the two campuses to facilitate movement of students who
are taking courses on both campuses. A student may obtain in the
Office of the Registrar the proper form for permission to register for
courses at Savannah State College.
Library
The Lane Library, centrally located on campus, is a multi-
resource and multi-service facility. The first floor houses a refer-
ence collection, all periodicals and micromaterials, government
documents, maps, folios, archives, and a reading room. The refer-
ence department utilizes the Lockheed on-line data base informa-
tion retrieval service for partial bibliographic searching. The tech-
nical services department, in which all orders are placed, cataloged,
and processed, is also located on this floor. The department catalogs
all monographs and performs interlibrary loans as a member of the
Southeastern Library Network All audio-visuals, the circulating
collections, individualized study carrells and typing facilities are
located on the second floor. A television production studio and
graphic laboratory are also located on this floor. This sophisticated
complex allows faculty to augment their classroom lectures with
in-house production of video programming.
The library collections combine traditional media such as mono-
graphs, periodicals and micromaterials with more recent types
such as audio and video tapes, recordings, filmstrips and motion
17
pictures. An array of micromaterial readers and printers, vid-
eobeam projectors, and audio hardware is available for constant
use. Housed in the library are approximately 400,000 total re-
sources, including 115,000 books and bound periodicals; 10,000
documents and maps; 270,000 microforms; 9,000 records, motion
pictures, slides, and videotapes, and 900 newspapers and periodical
subscriptions.
The Lane Library faculty and staff welcome suggestions for the
improvement of the Library collections and services.

Orientation
The decision to enter college for further education and knowledge
is an important point in an individual's process of self-development.
The Summer Orientation Program (CHAOS) at Armstrong State
College is planned to aid the student in his transition to college by
exposing him to the dynamics of successful decision-making. Using
techniques that encourage the realization of possible outcomes and
consequences, the student will learn to explore his possibilities with
more understanding and confidence.
Freshmen participating in this program will be given informa-
tion concerning student activities programs, visit campus facilities,
and plan their class schedules with academic advisors.
An abbreviated orientation program is scheduled for students
new to the college prior to registration Winter, Spring, and Summer
Quarters.

ment Office in the Administration Building, offers general assis-
tance in the planning of career directions. The office operates a

college, receives listings of full-time career opportunities, and ar-
ranges on-campus recruiting with business, governmental and
educational agencies. Students who wish to make use of the Place-
ment Service are advised to contact the Placement Counselor three
quarters prior to completion of studies.
The Placement Office also provides a job listing and referral sys-
tem for currently enrolled students who are seeking part-time tem-
porary, or vacation employment.

Armstrong State College and the Regents of the University System
of Georgia is assumed. To enroll is to agree to assume responsibil-
ity for adhering to policies and using established channels to pro-
mote change. Not to do so is sufficient basis for the college to termi-
nate a student's enrollment.

IV. Student Financial
Aid
Armstrong State College subscribes to the principle that the
primary purpose of a student financial aid program is to provide
financial assistance to students who, without such assistance,
would be unable to attend college. The primary responsibility for
financing a college education is the inherent obligation of the stu-
dent and/or family. Financial assistance from Armstrong State Col-
lege should be viewed as supplementary to the efforts of the stu-
dent and/or family. An assessment of parental ability to contribute
toward the student's educational expenses is made by the College
Scholarship Service so that neither the parent, the student, nor
Armstrong State College be required to bear an undue share of the
financial responsibility.
Application Information
An applicant for student financial aid at Armstrong must:
1. be enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the College;
2. obtain and complete and submit a Financial Aid Form (FAF)
to the College Scholarship Service prior to June 30 for the com-
ing academic year.
3. submit a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) Eligi-
bility Report (SER) to the Office of Student Financial Aid by
June 30 preceding the next academic year.
4. complete and submit the Request for Student Financial Aid
Form.
It may be necessary to complete additional forms depending on a
student's year in school, major course of study, and/or eligibility for
a particular program. Applications for financial assistance must be
repeated annually. Most student financial aid awards are for the
entire academic year, with payments made to the student in equal
quarterly installments. A student may, however, apply and be con-
sidered for financial assistance during the academic year, if funds
are available.
All student financial aid awards are contingent upon the availa-
bility of funds and the recipient's maintaining satisfactory prog-
ress toward a degree as defined in this Bulletin.
The minimum number of quarter hours for which a student fi-
nancial aid recipient may enroll per quarter varies from program to
program. Most require at least 12 hours per quarter (full-time
status); some require only 10 hours per quarter. All programs re-
quire that the student be enrolled at least half-time taking 6 or
more quarter hours.
Students applying for financial aid, whether eligible or not, who
do not meet or adhere to the above requirements will not be consid-
ered for financial aid. It is the responsibility of the parents and/or
student to determine that all pertinent information and data have
27
been obtained and are located in the Office of Student Financial Aid
to assure a complete and accurate awarding of financial assistance.
When the student has received acknowledgement from the Col-
lege Scholarship Service that the Financial Aid Form (FAF) has
been sent to the College and the student has delivered the Basic
Grant Eligibility Report (SER) and the Request for Student Finan-
cial Aid, the office of Student Financial Aid will send the student a
tentative award notice. The student should schedule an appoint-
ment with a financial aid advisor. The advisor will discuss the stu-
dent's financial aid package and a final award letter indicating the
type of award(s) and amount(s) will be processed.
NO AWARD WILL BE MADE UNLESS THE OFFICE OF
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID HAS BOTH THE BASIC GRANT
ELIGIBILITY REPORT, THE REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL
AID FORM, AND THE FINANCIAL AID FORM (FAF).
Transfer Students
In addition to the above requirements for all financial aid stu-
dents, transfer students are required to submit a complete Finan-
cial Aid Transcript from the Financial Aid Office of each institution
of higher education previously attended whether or not aid was
received. No awards will be made until these documents have been
received by the Financial Aid Office.
Categories of Aid
The College provides necessary financial assistance through
grants/scholarships, work, and/or loans. Grants and scholarships
are awards that require neither service nor cash repayments. Op-
portunities for part-time employment are provided for eligible stu-
dents, usually on-campus, who are paid federal minimum wages on
an hourly basis. Loans require cash repayment, service repayment,
or a combination of both. These funds are made available through
the federal government, state government, and local sources.
Federal Assistance
The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program is designed
to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend post-
high school educational institutions. The BEOG is a grant and,
unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Award amounts vary,
depending upon the student's eligibility.
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program is
available to eligible students who establish exceptional financial
need as determined by the College Scholarship Service. The
minimum award is $200.00 per academic year. The maximum may
not exceed one-half of the student's established need, nor can it be
more than one-half of the financial assistance supplied through the
College.
Currently, the College Work-Study Program allows an eligible
28
student to work each class day during the quarter. Satisfactory
work performance is mandatory. The student must also maintain
satisfactory academic progress. A student on academic suspension,
even though readmitted on appeal, will not be allowed to partici-
pate in the Work-Study Program.
A National Direct Student Loan may be awarded to an eligible
student who has established a need through the College Scholar-
ship Service. Interest will be computed at the rate of three percent
per annum simple interest on the unpaid principal balance. In-
terest is not charged and repayment is not required until nine
months after the borrower ceases to be a student. All students
using NDSL funds are required to complete an exit interview be-
fore leaving the college.
A sample repayment schedule of a $1,000 NDSL loan at 3% would
be:
Payment Principal Principal Total
Number Balance Interest Payment Payment
1 $1,000.00 $2.50 $ 30.00 $ 32.50
2 970.00 2.43 30.00 32.43
3 940.00 2.35 30.00 32.35

6 850.00 2.13 30.00 32.13
34 10.00 .03 10.00 10.03
Totals $43.10 $1,000.00 $1,043.01
Federal Nursing Student Loans and/or Scholarships are availa-
ble to students who have: (1) established a financial need through
the College Scholarship Service, (2) been accepted for enrollment by
Armstrong State College, and (3) been admitted to the Nursing
Program by the Department of Nursing.
Law Enforcement Educational Program Grants are available to
in-service personnel. Awards are made on a priority basis and re-
quire the completion of applications applicable to the program. In-
service personnel need not complete the Basic Grant or FAF if
attending college on a part-time basis.
State Assistance
Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation. Under this
program, guaranteed loans are provided by private lending institu-
tions to residents of Georgia. The loans accrue interest at the rate of
7 percent simple interest. Loans are made by lending institutions
that have signed a contract with and have the guarantee of
GHEAC. The process involves application for the loan by the stu-
dent and parents, certification by the educational institution, and
final approval by GHEAC. Students who are unable to secure funds
locally may apply for a State Direct Loan. In this instance, the
State of Georgia provides the funds and GHEAC guarantees the
loan. Students enrolled in certain health career fields may elect to
29
cancel all or a portion of their state direct loans by practicing in
their fields. Applications and additional information may be ob-
tained from the Office of Student Financial Aid. Students who re-
ceive GHEAC loans are usually required to be enrolled as full-time
students (12 hours). Exceptions are made only to health career
loans, in which case the student must notify the Office of Student
Financial Aid in advance for approval of hours to be taken.
Georgia Incentive Scholarships are awarded to residents who
began post-high school education after 1 April, 1974, and whose
eligibility has been determined by the College Scholarship Service
financial analysis. All veterans who were residents of Georgia at
the time of their entry into military service may apply. Students
must also request submission of a copy of the FAF to the State
Scholarship Commission. All students applying for Georgia Incen-
tive Scholarships are required to apply for Basic Grant (BEOG).
The Board of Regents' Fund sponsors a program under which
Georgia residents may qualify for financial assistance at units of
the University System. Applicants must be in the upper 25% of
their class and have established a financial need through the Col-
lege Scholarship Service. Recipients must agree to work in the
state, at an occupation for which they are qualified educationally,
one year for each $1,000 received. If unable to meet this obligation,
the student is expected to repay the full amount with interest at the
rate of 3 percent simple interest.
Students may be recommended for employment on the Institu-
tional Student Assistants Program. Some departments and offices
of the college have funds available to hire student workers. Initial
contacts should be made by the student with the appropriate de-
partment head.
Local Assistance
Institutional Short-Term Loans are available to students for a
maximum of sixty days. Interest shall accrue at the rate of 3% per
annum. There are four short-term loans accounts: General, Nurs-
ing, Exchangette, and Kiwanis. Because of limited availability,
short-term loans are usually made available to students for pay-
ment of tuition and fees at the College. Other requirements con-
cerning short-term loans are available in the Office of Student Fi-
nancial Aid. Funds for the General Short-Term Loan Fund have
been provided by:
John Bravo Memorial Sigma Kappa Sorority
Rensing Loan Special Loans
Rho Beta Chapter of Stephen Davis Memorial
Alpha Phi Omega Union Camp Corporation
Dental Hygiene students may apply for scholarship and/or loan
funds from the Paderewski Memorial Fund. Interested students
should contact either the Head of the Dental Hygiene Department
or the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Armstrong State College accepts Scholarship applications
throughout the year. Most awards are made annually during the
summer. Scholarships are awarded when:
30
1. an agency notifies the College of its intention to award a schol-
arship to a specified student, or
2. an agency informs the College that it will award scholarships to
a specific number of students selected by the Student Scholarship
Committee.
Applicants for scholarships awarded by the college must:
1. complete the initial application process for financial aid;
2. complete a separate scholarship application which may be ob-
tained from the Office of Student Financial Aid;
3. have, as an entering freshman, a minimum combined verbal
and mathematical SAT score of 1,000;
4. have, as a returning or transfer student, a minimum overall
grade-point average of 3.0.
5. unless otherwise specified, be a full time student.
Individuals who are applicants for scholarships to be awarded by
the Student Scholarship Committee will be interviewed by that
Committee at a designated time. Award notification will be given to
those students selected at the end of the selection process.
Government Benefits
Social Security Administration. Social Security provides
monthly benefits to children when a parent (a) dies, (b) starts re-
ceiving Social Security retirement, or (c) starts receiving disability
benefits. Payments can be made until age 22, provided the child is a
full-time student in an educational institution. Benefits can con-
tinue until the end of the quarter of attainment of age 22, if re-
quirements for a bachelor's degree are not complete. Once Social
Security benefits begin, it is the individual's responsibility to notify
the Social Security office if he transfers to another school, if he
withdraws from school, or if he reduces his hours below full-time
attendance. The individual must also notify the Social Security
Administration if he marries, if he is adopted, or if he earns more
than $2,520 a year. Students who want to file applications, report
changes, or receive more information should contact their Social
Security Office.
Vocational Rehabilitation. The Georgia Vocational Rehabilita-
tion Program provides financial assistance for the applicant who
possesses an impairment which would prove to be a vocational
handicap. The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation may pay the cost
of tuition, books, and fees. Students who think that they may qual-
ify under this program should contact one of the area Vocational
Rehabilitation Centers located throughout the state. The Savan-
nah Center is located at 420 Mall Boulevard. Applicants sponsored
by Vocational Rehabilitation or other community agencies must
apply at least six (6) weeks before the beginning of any quarter to
insure proper processing of applications.
Veterans, Disability, and War Orphans Assistance. Veterans who
served on active duty for other than training purposes for more
than 180 days, any part of which occurred after June 1, 1966, are
eligible for financial assistance to attend college through the G.I.
Bill. Generally, sons and daughters of veterans whose death or
31
total disablement was a result of service in the armed forces are
eligible for financial benefits under the veterans program for edu-
cational assistance.
How to Apply. A prospective student must first make application
to the College and gain approval for admission from the Office of the
Registrar/Director of Admissions. A veteran cannot receive ben-
efits while matriculating under a Continuing Education admission
status.
Once accepted, the veteran should go to the Office of Veteran
Affairs located in the Administration Building and obtain an appli-
cation for VA educational benefits. The veteran must submit to the
Veterans Affairs Office an original DD 214 or copy number four and
supporting documentation of dependency status (marriage certifi-
cate; divorce decree, if previously married; and birth certificates of
all dependent children.
Students transferring from other educational institutions, OJT
programs, or correspondence schools must complete a "Request for
Change of Place of Training/Change of Program" VA Form 1995
with the Armstrong Office of Veterans Affairs. At the time of initial
matriculation each student/veteran must declare a specific pro-
gram of study (major) and must follow the curriculum for this major
without exception or benefits may be interrupted. Any student re-
ceiving government benefits from the Veterans Administration
must check with the Armstrong State College Office of Veterans
Affairs at the beginning of each quarter and file a form declaring
the specific courses and number of credit hours which he is attempt-
ing. Each student/veteran is reminded that he must report any
changes in his attendance, i.e., dropping, adding or withdrawal
from school to the Armstrong Office of Veterans Affairs im-
mediately following such action. Veterans entering school under
the G.I. Bill should have sufficient funds to finance themselves
until payments from the VA begin (approximately six weeks after
application).
General Information Relating to Student
Financial Aid
Distribution of Financial Aid. Financial assistance is distributed
both directly and indirectly to eligible students from the federal,
state, and local government and from private donors through the
Office of Student Financial Aid. Assistance is provided directly
when the name of the recipient and the amount of assistance to be
given are determined prior to the receipt of the funds by the college.
Assistance is provided indirectly when funds are given to the col-
lege for general distribution to students who are determined to be
eligible for receipt of these funds. In both cases, it is the responsibil-
ity of the Office of Student Financial Aid to assure that the recip-
ient has met all requirements and regulations concerning the re-
ceipt of such funds. Students who are found to be in violation of
requirements and regulations concerning the receipt of financial
assistance may jeopardize their continued eligibility for participa-
tion in the financial aid program. It is the student's responsibility to
32
be knowledgeable about all requirements governing the receipt of
funds from each program from which the student receives financial
assistance.
Student Cost. Student financial aid is awarded to eligible stu-
dents on the basis of need in nearly all cases except scholarships
which have been provided by donors for the purpose of recognizing
academic promise or achievement. The determination of need is
provided for Armstrong State College students through the use of
the Financial Aid Form (FAF) and the College Scholarship Service
which processes this form. The process involves an analysis of the
data provided by the student's family or, if independent, by the
student. This analysis is sent to the Office of Student Financial Aid
where it is compared with the cost of education for the appropriate
classification of student. If the analysis shows that the family con-
tribution or self contribution is less than the cost of education, fi-
nancial need has been established. The Office of Student Financial
Aid has the legal right to challenge information provided on the
Financial Aid Form if, in the opinion of the financial aid officer, that
information appears to be inaccurate, incorrect, or misleading. In-
formation relating to a student's eligibility is available to that stu-
dent when he/she has completed all the necessary requirements for
processing his/her financial aid application at the college.
Student Classification. There are two basic student classifica-
tions: (1) dependent student who is a commuter (living with parents
or guardian) or resident (not living with parents or guardian but
either receiving financial support from them or claimed by them as
a tax deduction); (2) independent student who is single (and total
self-supporting) or married (or who is a single parent with one or
more children). Each classification constitutes a cost of education
group from which eligibility for financial aid is derived. An example
of the cost of education for a dependent commuter student for one
year would be:
Tuition and fees $542
Books and supplies 245
Room and board 830
Transportation 415
Personal expenses .700
TOTAL $2,732
The cost of tuition and all pertinent fees and the refund policy of
the College are outlined in the "Fees" section of this Bulletin.
Availability of Funds. In general, students who enter the College
at the beginning of the fall quarter have a greater opportunity to
receive financial assistance than those who enter later in the
academic year. The awards processing time usually runs from June
1 to August 31. It is during this period that the Office of Student
Financial Aid distributes its yearly allocation of funds to students
who have completed the process cycle. In the event that there is a
shortage of funds, students who are eligible for financial aid but
whose applications were late will be placed on a waiting list until
such time as funds becomes available.
Rights and Responsibilities. Every eligible student has a right to
receive financial assistance provided that (1) funds are available at
33
the college for award to the student; (2) the student meets the re-
quirements pertinent to the program(s) from which assistance is
sought; (3) the student has been admitted to the college, or in the
case of an enrolled student, meets the standards of satisfactory
academic progress as outlined in the "Academic Regulations" sec-
tion of this Bulletin. In addition, it is the student's responsibility to
adhere to all regulations and requirements heretofore mentioned
and to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid of any change in
status which would have any effect on the legitimacy of financial
assistance being received.
Student Retention. Information regarding student retention (i.e.,
enrollment patterns at the college) may be obtained upon request
from the Office of the Registrar. Copies of this information are
available to the student at a cost of $1.00 per copy. Information
regarding specific degree programs is available in this Bulletin and
from the Head of the Department in which a specific academic
program is offered.
Satisfactory Progress
For purpose of financial aid, a student is deemed to be making
satisfactory progress toward a degree until such time as he/she is
placed on academic suspension from the College. The student, upon
his readmission to the College, must, in the first quarter after
readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point-average before he/she is again
considered to be making satisfactory progress toward a degree. The
award of financial aid will be suspended during this quarter.
34
V- Admission to the

Armstrong State College reserves the right to refuse to accept
any or all of the credits from any high school or other institution,
notwithstanding its accredited status, when the College deter-
mines through investigation or otherwise that the quality of in-
struction at such high school or other institution is for any reason
deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgment of the College on this
question shall be final.
On the basis of achievement as reflected by high school or college
grades and academic potential as shown by scores on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test, an evaluation of each applicant's readiness to un-
dertake college work will be made. The Admissions Officer may
refer any application to the Admissions Committee of the college
for study and advice.
The decision as to whether an applicant shall be accepted or re-
jected shall be made by the Admissions Officer in accordance with
admission policies and subject to the applicant's right of appeal as
provided in the policies of the Board of Regents of the University
System. The Admissions Officer shall, as promptly as practicable,
inform the applicant of the action taken upon his application.
The College reserves the right to terminate acceptance of appli-
cations when enrollment capacity is reached. The College further
reserves the right to reject an applicant who is not a resident of the
State of Georgia.
All students enrolled at Armstrong State College are required to
affirm that they will abide by the provisions of the Honor Code. For
a detailed explanation of the Honor System see the "Regulations"

36
Conditional Admission
The applicant who qualifies for admission to the College but who
does not qualify for regular admission will be granted conditional
admission. All conditionally admitted students must take the Basic
Skills Examination. This examination should be taken before the
student's first registration at the College. Test dates for the Basic
Skills Examination appear in the Academic Calendar in this Bulle-
tin. If a conditionally admitted student registers before taking the
Basic Skills Examination, his/her choice of courses will be limited to
English 98 and Reading 98 (if the student's SAT verbal score is
below 330), Mathematics 98 (if the student's SAT mathematics
score is below 330), Study Techniques 99, and core physical educa-
tion courses.
The student who presents an SAT verbal score of 330 or higher
and an SAT mathematics score of 330 or higher but whose combined
SAT score is less than 750 must take the Basic Skills Examination
for advisement purposes. When the examination has been taken,
the student will be granted regular admission.
The student who presents an SAT verbal score of less than 330
and/or an SAT mathematics score of less than 330 will be granted
regular admission if he/she passes all parts of the Basic Skills
Examination. If he/she does not pass all parts of the examination,
the student will remain conditionally admitted, will be placed in the
Special Studies Program, and will be required to enroll in appro-
priate courses in the Department of Special Studies until such time
as his/her identified academic deficiencies are removed. Upon suc-
cessful completion of the Special Studies courses required, the stu-
dent will be granted regular admission.
A student in the Special Studies Program must have his/her
schedule of classes approved by the Head of the Department of
Special Studies each time the student registers or preregisters. The
Head of the Department may refuse to allow a student in the Spe-
cial Studies Program to enroll in any course for which the student
lacks a prerequisite or for which the student's academic prepara-
tion appears inadequate.
A student in the Special Studies Program will not be allowed to
continue as a student at the College if the student receives three
grades other than P for a course required of him in the Special
Studies Program. Grades other than P include U, I, W, WU, and WF.
A student will exit the Special Studies Program and be granted
regular admission status upon satisfying the requirements stated
in the policies of the Special Studies Program. Copies of these
policies may be obtained from the Special Studies departmental
office.
Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination
Armstrong State College gives advanced placement, or in some
cases college credit, for college level high school courses, on the
basis of the student's grade on the College Board Advanced Place-
ment Examination or the Admissions Testing Program achieve-
37
ment tests and approval by the appropriate department head at
Armstrong State College.
College credit may be granted for satisfactory scores on selected
tests of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), for satis-
factory completion of appropriate courses and tests offered
through the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI), and
for military service schools and experience as recommended by the
Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences of the Ameri-
can Council on Education. Such credits may not exceed more than
one-fourth of the work counted toward a degree.
Specifically, the student with a strong academic background
may, through certain examinations, demonstrate competence in:
Art 200; Biology 101, 102; English 111; Foreign Language 101, 102,
103; History 114, 115, 251, 252; Mathematics 101, 103, 104, 201, 220;
Music 200; Natural Science without Laboratory; Nursing 101;
Political Science 113; Sociology 201. For information concerning the
examinations which apply to the specific areas, please make in-
quiry to the Office of Admissions, the Office of the Registrar, the
Office of Counseling and Placement, or the Head of the appropriate
Academic Department.
It is possible for a student, through a combination of the ad-
vanced placement and credit by examination programs, to begin his
formal instructional program at Armstrong State College as a
sophomore.
Requirements for Transfer Applicants
1. Transfer applicants will follow the same procedures as
freshman applicants, except that transfer applicants who will
have achieved sophomore standing at the time of their en-
trance will not be required to submit their high school records.
Such records may be required by the Admissions Office, but
normally the transcripts of previous college records will suf-
fice in place of the high school record. A transfer applicant
must ask the Registrar of each college he has previously at-
tended to mail an official transcript of his record to the Admis-
sions Office at Armstrong State College, regardless of the
transferability of the credits.
2. Transfer applicants who will enter with less than 36 quarter
hours completed must meet entrance requirements of both
freshman and transfer applicants and will be required to sub-
mit their high school records as well as transcripts of college
records.
3. A transfer applicant will not be eligible for admission to
Armstrong State College unless he is eligible to return to the
last college attended on the date he expects to enter
Armstrong. A student who is on suspension from another col-
lege because of poor scholarship or for disciplinary reasons will
not be eligible for admission.
4. A transfer applicant will be considered for admission to
Armstrong State College, if, on all work attempted at other
institutions, his academic performance as shown by his
grade-point average is equivalent to the minimum standard
38
required by Armstrong State College students of comparable
standing. (See chart under Academic Probation and Dismissal
Policy in the "Academic Regulations" section of this Bulletin.)
5. Credit will be given for transfer work in which the student
received a grade of "C" or above. Credit will also be given for
transfer work in which the student received grades of "D",
with the limitation that such credit will not exceed twenty-five
(25) percent of the total amount of credit accepted with grades
of "C" or above. College credit will not be allowed for such
courses as remedial English or remedial mathematics or
courses basically of secondary school level.
6. Credits earned at an intitution which is not a member of the
appropriate regional accrediting agency can be accepted on a
provisional basis only. A student transferring from an institu-
tion which is not a member of a regional accrediting agency
must achieve a "C" average on his first fifteen quarter hours of
work at Armstrong in order to be eligible to continue. In cer-
tain areas he may be required to validate credits by examina-
tion. In computing cumulative grade averages, only the work
attempted at Armstrong will be considered.
7. The amount of credit that Armstrong will allow for work done
in another institution within a given period of time may not
exceed the normal amount of credit that could have been
earned at Armstrong during that time. A maximum of 100
quarter hours may be transferred from a junior college. At
least half of the courses in the major field must be taken at
Armstrong.
8. Not more than one-fourth of the work counted toward a degree
may be taken through correspondence or extension courses.
No correspondence courses may be used to meet requirements
in the major field or the related field for the bachelor's degree.
No correspondence course may be taken while a student is
enrolled at Armstrong State College without prior approval of
the Vice President and the head of the department in which
the student is majoring. Correspondence credit will not be ac-
cepted for courses in English composition or foreign language.
Readmission of Former Students
A student who has not been enrolled at Armstrong for one or
more quarters must apply for readmission on a form provided by
the Admissions Office. This requirement does not apply to students
who do not register for courses during the summer quarter. A
former student who has not attended another college since leaving
Armstrong may be readmitted provided he is not on suspension at
the time he wishes to reenter. A former student who has attended
another college since leaving Armstrong must meet requirements
as listed in the bulletin in effect at the time of his return.
Transient Students
Transient student status means that a student is admitted to
Armstrong State College only for a specified period of time, nor-
39
mally for one quarter. An applicant for transient status must file a
regular application form and submit a statement from his Dean or
registrar that he is in good standing and has permission to take
specific courses at Armstrong to be transferred to his own institu-
tion when satisfactorily completed. Since transient students are
not admitted as regular Armstrong students, transcripts of college
work completed elsewhere are not usually required of such applic-
ants. A transient student who wishes to remain at Armstrong
longer than one quarter must submit an additional statement from
his Dean or Registrar, or he must meet all requirements for regular
admission as a transfer student.
Armstrong State College Accelerated Program
for High School Students
High school students who have completed the eleventh grade,
who have met the criteria for admission to the program and who
maintain its standards will be permitted to enroll for college credit
in at least one course but not more than two courses each quarter at
Armstrong State College while they complete the senior year of
high school. Upon graduation from high school, these students will
be admitted as regular students of the College.
Through this program, a student may complete over two-thirds of
the freshman year of college before he begins his regular college
career. Students accepted in the program may choose any
freshman course for which they meet all prerequisites, with per-
mission of their high school principal or counselor and college ad-
visor.
A student forfeits the privilege of this program if in any quarter
his grade in the course is below C or his high school average in
academic courses is below B.
The College will consider a student for this program only upon
written recommendation of his high school principal or counselor.
In the view of the College, it is only these individuals who can judge
the circumstances that may make the program valuable and prac-
ticable for any student.
To be admitted to the program a student must satisfy all of these
criteria:
1. written recommendation by the Principal or counselor of the
high school;
2. completion of the eleventh grade in an accredited high school;
3. a combined verbal and mathematics SAT score of 1,000;
4. a minimum grade-point-average of 3.0 in high school work
completed.
Early Admission and Joint Enrollment Programs
Armstrong State College offers an early admission program for
those students who have completed the eleventh grade in high
school and who have demonstrated outstanding academic poten-
tial. The criteria for admission to this program are the same as
those listed for the Accelerated Program.
40
Additionally, the college cooperates with the Chatham County
School System in the offering of a joint enrollment program which
is an early admission program allowing the student to enroll full-
time at the college while remaining on the rolls of his local high
school. After successfully meeting all established criteria for the
early admission program, the student will be awarded a high school
diploma at the end of his freshman year in college. For further
information on this program the prospective applicant should con-
sult his high school counselor and/or request information from the
Admissions Office at Armstrong State College.
Foreign Students
It is recommended that, whenever possible, foreign students
begin their attendance at the college in the fall quarter. The college
also recommends that a foreign student attend an ELS language
center prior to enrollment. (Applications for ELS are available
from the Admissions Coordinator, ELS Language Center, 3331
Ocean Park Blvd. Suite 201, Santa Monica, California 90405.
A student from a country other than the United States who is
interested in attending Armstrong must meet the following re-
quirements before application is made:
1. He must have met the requirements of freshman applicants.
2. He must have an official transcript of his academic record
mailed to the Admissions Office at Armstrong with an official
translation.
3. He must take the SAT of the College Entrance Examination
Board in the testing center nearest his home and ask that the
results be sent to Armstrong.
4. He must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL) and score a minimum of 500 for consideration for
admission to the college.
5. He must submit a statement of financial resources prior to
attendance.
6. He must show proof of adequate health and life insurance.
If the applicant meets the academic requirements for admission,
he will be sent an application form. After it has been returned and
approved, the applicant will be sent an 1-20 Form (I-20A and I-20B),
which he can take to the American consul to ask for a student visa.
When he arrives on campus, he will be tested in English composi-
tion for class placement.
No scholarships are available for students who are not legal resi-
dents of Georgia. All foreign students must pay non-resident fees.
Admission of Veterans
After having been accepted at Armstrong State College and upon
receipt of Certification of Eligibility and Entitlement from the Vet-
erans Administration, veterans may attend under Public Law 358
(Veterans Readjustment Benefit Act of 1966), Public Law 815 (dis-
abled), Public Law 894 (disabled), Public Law 634 (war orphans), or
Public Law 361 (children of permanently disabled veterans). Stu-
41
dents under Public Laws 358, 361, or 634 should be prepared to pay
tuition and fees at the time of registration.
Applicants Sponsored by Vocational
Rehabilitation
Those applicants sponsored by Vocational Rehabilitation or
other community agencies must apply at least six (6) weeks before
the beginning of any quarter to insure proper processing of applica-
tions.
Admission to the Associate in Science Degree
Program in Nursing
Nursing requires a variety of skills and aptitudes and offers op-
portunities for service at differing levels of expertise. The associate
degree nurse utilizes theories and principles from bio-psycho-social
sciences and nursing as a basis for the nursing process. He/she uses
the nursing process to support, promote or alter the client's adap-
tive state in response to identified, commonly occurring, health
stressors. The associate degree nurse is prepared to work co-
operatively with colleagues on the nursing team in those health
agencies where the setting is structured and supervision is availa-
ble. The candidate for the associate degree nursing program should
have good physical and mental health as well as those personal
qualifications appropriate for nursing.
The Associate in Science degree program in Nursing is approved
by the Georgia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the Na-
tional League for Nursing (NLN).
General Information
Admission to Armstrong State College does not in any way
guarantee formal admission to the Associate Degree Program in
Nursing. It is important that the applicant for admission to this
program file all papers required for admission consideration as
early as possible in the academic year preceding the Fall Quarter in
which the applicant wishes to enroll. It is recommended that in-
terested people who have been away from school for a considerable
period of time enroll in at least one academic course in an accredited
college of their choice during the year prior to application to the
Associate Degree Nursing Program.
The Admissions Committee in the Department of Nursing will
act only on completed applications. Admission decisions will nor-
mally be made in April each year. When the class has been filled,
admissions will be closed. Students who qualify for admission but
who are not admitted because of lack of space may re-apply for the
following year's class, repeating all application procedures. Stu-
dents admitted for a given academic year must enter the Nursing
Program during that academic year or re-apply for admission for
any subsequent year. Determination of admission to the Nursing
Program is a function of the Nursing Faculty.
42
Transfer students must meet the minimum criteria for admission
to The Department of Associate Degree Nursing as stated. Credit
for nursing courses and science courses taken prior to application
to the Nursing Program must be approved by The Department of
Associate Degree Nursing.
The major part of the applicant's high school work should be in
the college preparatory area. Because of the heavy emphasis on
science in the nursing curriculum, it is important that the applicant
have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and mathematics.
The quality of the applicant's high school work in English and So-
cial Studies is important in the total evaluation of the qualifications
for admission to the program.
In addition to the usual college tuition and fees, the student in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program must purchase uniforms and
some supplies and equipment. Each student is required to wear the
official insignia of the Nursing Program on an approved uniform.
Approximately two weeks before the opening of school, each stu-
dent admitted to the program will receive information, along with
approximate charges, concerning supplies, equipment, and uni-
forms needed for the Fall Quarter. Students in the program are
responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the
community hospitals and other health agencies which furnish their
facilities for use in clinical instruction within the program.
Before registering for the first nursing courses, each student
must have (1) proof of nursing liability insurance; (2) a satisfactory
health record; (3) successfully completed all English and Mathema-
tics diagnostic requirements, if applicable.

time.
Admission to the Bachelor of Science Degree
Program in Nursing
The Baccalaureate Nursing Department at Armstrong State
College offers a curriculum which provides entering freshmen,
transfer students, and Registered Nurses the opportunity to earn
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The major portion of
the applicant's high school work should be in the college prepara-
tory area since nursing builds upon the sciences, languages,
mathematics and social studies.
Applicants to the Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Program must
be admitted to Armstrong State College prior to making application
to the Nursing Major. Students admitted to Armstrong State Col-
lege must meet the admission requirements of the Baccalaureate
Nursing Department to be eligible for admission to the Pre-nursing
classification or the Nursing Major. Admission to the Nursing
Major is the function of the Nursing Admissions Committee. The
Admissions Committee acts only on completed applications.
When the class is filled, the Admissions Committee will close ad-
missions. Students who qualify but who are not admitted because of
lack of space may reapply for the next quarter that students are
admitted. Students will be admitted to the Nursing major Fall and
Winter Quarters.
Because clinical learning experiences are provided in a variety of
settings, students will be responsible for providing their own trans-
portation to and from clinical areas. Armstrong State College does
not provide student housing. Students should contact the Office of
Student Affairs for information regarding housing available in the
area.
Students will be required to purchase an official uniform, health
and liability insurance, and supplies and equipment as determined
by the Baccalaureate Nursing Faculty. Each student will be re-
quired to wear the official insignia of the Nursing Program on each
uniform. Information regarding medical histories, liability insur-
ance, uniforms, supplies and equipment will be provided after ad-
mission to the Nursing major.
Criteria for Admission-Pre-Nursing
Freshman applicants may be admitted to the Baccalaureate de-
gree program with a pre-Nursing classification at the beginning of
any academic quarter. Such admission does not guarantee admis-
sion to the Nursing major. These applicants must:
1. have regular admission status at the College;
2. have a minimum SAT verbal score of 350;
45
3. have a minimum SAT mathematics score of 350;
4. have a verbal/mathematics combined SAT of at least 750;
5. qualify prior to or during the first quarter of their attendance
for admission to English 111 and Mathematics 101 (this qual-
ification may be achieved by presentation of a SAT verbal
score of 500 and a SAT mathematics score of 420 or by taking
and passing the placement examinations for each of the
courses or by successfully completing the appropriate reme-
dial English and Mathematics courses).
Transfer students must have a 2.0 cumulative grade-point-
average in all appropriate college course work to be admitted with
the pre-Nursing classification.
Criteria for Admission to the Nursing Major
Admission to the Nursing major is on a space-available basis and
is limited to the best qualified students as determined by the Ad-
missions Committee for the Baccalaureate Program. Admission
criteria include:
1. Completion of 49 hours of prerequisite course work as indi-
cated in the pre-Nursing curriculum;
2. A grade of "C" or better in each pre-professional course; no
more than one repeat grade in each course will be acceptable;
3. An adjusted GPA of 2.5 in all appropriate course work attemp-
ted. See curriculum requirements.
Transfer applicants with credit beyond the sophomore level must
fulfill the requirements for both pre-nursing and pre-professional
courses as indicated in the curriculum for the nursing major. Level
of entry into the nursing major for all students will be determined
by the Admission Committee for the Baccalaureate Program.
Transfer credit will be awarded to students transferring from other
bachelor of science in nursing programs if the Admission Commit-
tee determines a course(s) to be equivalent to courses within the
BSN curriculum. Supportive documents i.e. course outlines, course
descriptions, etc. must be presented to the Admission Committee
for their use in determining course equivalency. Pre-professional
courses must be evaluated by the B.S.N. Department to determine
whether or not the courses will meet the pre-professional cur-
riculum requirements. No more than 100 credit hours will be ac-
cepted in transfer from a junior college. A transfer student must
take the Regents' Examination during his/her first quarter of at-
tendance, if he/she has earned 45 quarter hours or more of credit.
Challenge Examination Credit: Students with previous course
work and/or nursing experience will be eligible to challenge BSN
201 and 202 for credit. Students who do not successfully complete
the challenge examination will be required to take the course(s).
Transfer applicants from other Registered Nurse Programs who
have had similar nursing courses which do not transfer as credit,
are eligible to challenge those 300 level courses designated as open
to challenge. Challenge examinations may be attempted only one
time.
Registered Nurse applicants must meet the criteria established
for transfer students and must also submit proof of licensure. After
46
admission to the nursing major, Registered Nurses may challenge
a maximum of 32 credit hours of nursing courses through oral
and/or written examinations. Students will be awarded senior level
status upon completion of 135 credit hours of appropriate course
work (including successful performance on challenge examinations
and successful completion of BSN 300 and 306).
CLEP examinations for general education courses may be taken,
with the total credit for these examinations not to exceed 25 per-
cent of the required quarter hours acceptable for the nursing
major.
Time Limit for Program Completion
Students must complete the Baccalaureate Nursing Program
within four (4) consecutive years from the date of their initial ad-
mission to the Nursing major. Students who do not complete the
program within this time limit must apply for readmission, meet
current criteria for admission, and have their previous credits
evaluated. Students who are granted readmission must meet
course requirements in effect at the time.
Readmission Procedures
1. The student must complete the readmission application for
Armstrong State College and the Nursing major.
2. The student will be required to meet admission and cur-
riculum requirements in effect at the time of readmission.
3. The student's readmission will be based upon space available
and recommendation by the Admissions Committee of the
Baccalaureate Program.
Admission to the Associate in Science Degree
Program in Dental Hygiene
The profession of Dental Hygiene is an ideal career for individu-
als interested in science and health services. The growing and con-
stant demand for graduate dental hygienists assures regular hours
and good compensation.
A dental hygienist works under the general supervision of a den-
tist and performs a number of dental functions. The hygienist's
duties usually include performing oral prophylaxis (cleaning of
teeth), instructing patients in dental health, taking, developing and
mounting dental x-rays, applying fluorides and sometimes assist-
ing the dentist in chairside and laboratory duties.
There are certain personal qualifications which are essential for
a successful dental hygienist. These are good health, neat appear-
ance, high moral character, a desire to be of service to others, and
the ability to get along well with people.
There are no definite age requirements or restrictions for the
basic Dental Hygiene program. However, all applicants must be
graduates of an accredited high school or its equivalent.
47
General Information
Admission to Armstrong State College does not in any way
guarantee admission to the Associate Degree Program in Dental
Hygiene. Applicants must first be accepted for admission to the
college with Regular Admission status; they then must meet the
requirements for admission to the Associate Degree program in
Dental Hygiene before being accepted as students in that program.
The purpose of the program is to meet the need for individuals
educated in this rapidly growing and important health profession.
Dental Hygienists are in demand to provide dental health services
in private dental offices, civil service positions, school programs,
and various public health fields. They practice under the supervi-
sion of a dentist and must pass a written national board examina-
tion and a state board examination for licensure. To qualify for
many state board examinations, the hygienist must be a United
States citizen.
Admission to the program is limited to thirty students in each
class. Students enroll in the Fall Quarter of each year. Applications
for admission should be completed by April 15 for the Fall Quarter.
These applications must include a transcript of academic work to
that date. A complete transcript must be submitted as soon as pos-
sible thereafter.
The major part of the applicant's high school work should be in
the college preparatory area. Because of the heavy emphasis on
science in the dental hygiene curriculum, it is important that the
applicant have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and
mathematics. The quality of the applicant's high school work in
English and Social Studies is important in the total evaluation of
the qualifications for admission to the program.
Applicants who are on academic probation or suspension from
another college will not be considered for admission to the program.
Unless specifically approved by the Head of the Department, credit
will not be accepted for courses taken in another school of Dental
Hygiene.
In addition to the normal college tuition and fees, the student in
the Dental Hygiene program must purchase some supplies and
equipment. Only new, complete, and approved instrument kits are
acceptable. Each student is required to wear the official uniform of
the program. These uniforms are ordered during the Fall Quarter.
Approximately two weeks before the opening of school, each stu-
dent admitted to the program will receive information, with ap-
proximate costs, concerning supplies and equipment needed for the
Fall Quarter.
Armstrong State College does not provide student housing. For
information regarding housing available in the area, contact the
Office of Student Affairs. Students are responsible for providing
their own transportation to and from community agencies when
they are assigned to these agencies for field experiences.
Desired Admission Criteria
Factors influencing the decisions of the Dental Hygiene Admis-
sions Committee are:
48
1. A 2.5 or better high school grade-point average.
2. A SAT score (composite verbal and mathematics) of 850 or
above.
3. An average score on the Dental Hygiene Aptitude test of 4.0.
This test is recommended but is not required.
4. Dental office experience.
5. A 2.0 grade-point average on all previous college work, if
applicable. Students transferring from another program
within the college or from another college must have this av-
erage to be considered for admission. The 2.0 average must be
maintained to date of actual matriculation in the program.
The Dental Hygiene Admissions Committee will give special con-
sideration to applicants who have completed one year of college
work and who have completed Chemistry 201 or Zoology 208 (or
their equivalents) with a grade of "C" or better.
After all credentials have been received, the applicant may re-
quest a personal interview with the Admissions Committee to dis-
cuss matters relative to his or her application.
Readmission to the Program
Students who have been admitted to and have enrolled in the
Dental Hygiene program but who have either withdrawn or have
been dropped from the program may apply for readmission to the
program only if they have a cummulative college grade-point aver-
age of 2.0 (C) at the time they wish to reenter.
How to Apply
1. Complete all papers required in the application for admission
to Armstrong State College. The procedures for admission to
the College are outlined in this section of the Bulletin. Mark
the application For Dental Hygiene Only. These forms are to
be returned to the Admissions office.
2. Complete and return to the Department of Dental Hygiene the
personal data form, the dental form, and a recent photograph.
3. It is recommended, but not required, that all applicants take

consecutive academic years from the date of their initial admission
to the program. Students who do not complete the program within
this time limit must reapply for admission, meet current criteria for
admission, and have their previous credits evaluated at the time of
their subsequent admission. Students who are readmitted must
meet course requirements in effect at the time of their readmission.
Clinical Requirements

ble to all students at the beginning of the registration period. Reg-
istration includes academic advisement, selection of courses, en-
rollment in classes, and payment of fees. Students who are
employed may complete and renew annually a request for priority
in registration before or early in the preregistration week in the
Registrar's Office. Full details regarding registration are provided
to all incoming students after they have been approved for admis-
sion to the College.
Residency Requirements of the Board of Regents
To be considered a legal resident of Georgia, the applicant must
establish the following facts to the satisfaction of the Registrar.
1. (a) If a person is 18 years of age or older, he or she may register
as a resident student only upon a showing that he or she has
been a legal resident of Georgia for a period of at least twelve
months immediately preceding the date of registration,
(b) No emancipated minor or person 18 years of age or older

State.
2. If a person is under 18 years of age, he or she may register as a
resident student only upon a showing that his or her support-
ing parent or guardian has been a legal resident of Georgia for
a period of at least twelve months immediately preceding the

VI. ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS
Academic Advisement
Academic Advisement is made available to each student at
Armstrong State College. The Vice President gives overall direc-
tion to the advisement program, with the appropriate Department
Head coordinating advisement activities within the various de-
partments. The student is expected to seek advisement from the
department in which he is taking a major. The advisor maintains a
record of his advisees' academic progress from quarter to quarter.
The student who does not take advantage of the academic advise-
ment program at the College should be reminded that he is respon-
sible for fulfilling the requirements of his degree program and must
be extremely careful to observe all regulations for admission to
courses, such as the requirement of prerequisite courses, some-
times with a specified grade. Credit for a course is invalid unless all
prerequisite requirements are observed.
During summer orientation, or on registration day, all new stu-
dents, both freshman and transfer students, will meet in groups
with advisors. At this time, students make a selection of appro-
priate classes for their quarter of entry. The proper time for meet-
ing with faculty advisors from that point on is during the advise-
ment periods each quarter listed in the college calendar. All faculty
advisors, however, will be happy to give academic counseling at any
time during a given quarter, if students need to talk with them.
During the six quarters of his junior and senior years, the stu-
dent must have his course selection approved in writing each quar-
ter before registration by an advisor from the department in which
he is majoring. During these last two years, the advisor will keep a
record of the courses the student takes and the grades he makes,
and, at least two quarters prior to graduation, when the student
obtains the Application for Graduation, the advisor will signify to
the registrar that the student has completed all requirements for
graduation in his major program up to that time, and is, therefore,
recommended for graduation upon his completion of the remaining
requirements in his degree program.
English Composition Requirements
During a student's initial quarters of enrollment at Armstrong
State College, he or she must enroll in the appropriate sequence of
English composition courses until the sequence has been completed
and/or the Regents' Test has been passed. For assistance with iden-
tifying the appropriate English composition courses, a student may
consult with advisers in the department of his declared major, in
the Office of Admissions, or in the Department of Languages and
Literature.
53
Relating to Degree Requirements
1. Each student is responsible for fulfilling the requirements of
the degree program which he has chosen, in accordance with
the regulations of the college catalogue.
2. Exceptions to course requirements for a degree are permit-
ted only with the written approval of the appropriate Dean,
upon the recommendation of the department head.
3. A student will normally graduate under the catalogue in ef-
fect at the time of his admission to the College. Armstrong
State College, however, reserves the right to change any pro-
vision listed in this catalogue, including but not limited to
academic requirements for graduation, without actual notice
to individual students. If a student has been absent from the
College for two or more consecutive years, he should expect to
meet all requirements in effect at the time of his return.
4. Not more than one-fourth of the work counted toward a de-
gree may consist of courses taken by correspondence, exten-
sion, or examination. No correspondence courses may be used
to meet the requirements in the major field or related fields
for the Bachelor's degree or in English composition or foreign
language. No correspondence courses may be taken while a
student is enrolled, without prior approval of the appropriate
Dean and the head of the department in which the student is
majoring.
5. By State law, one of the requirements for a diploma or certifi-
cate from schools supported by the state of Georgia is a dem-
onstration of proficiency in United States history and gov-
ernment and in Georgia history and government. A student
at Armstrong State College may demonstrate such profi-
ciency by:
a. Examinations — Students may take either the relevant
CLEP, College Board Admissions Testing Program
Achievement Test, or Advanced Placement test (making
their own arrangements).
b. Credit in the following — for U.S. and Georgia Constitu-
tion: Political Science 113; for U.S. and Georgia History 251 or
252 or any upper division course in U.S. History.
6. To qualify for the baccalaureate degree, a student must earn
at Armstrong at least 45 quarter hours of credit applicable
toward the degree. Additionally, the student must complete
successfully at Armstrong a majority of the upper division
credits required in his major field of study. For the Associate
Degree, the student must complete at least 45 quarter hours
of course work at Armstrong State College. (Armstrong stu-
dents enrolled in the cooperative degree programs with
Savannah State College in Business Education, Industrial
Arts Education, and Trade and Industrial Education may be
exempted from these requirements by a recommendation of
the Dean of the School of Education, concurrence by the
Teacher Education Committee, and approval of the Commit-
tee on Academic Standing.)
7. For graduation the student must earn an overall-average of
54
2.0 or better considering work taken at all colleges, computed
in such manner that a course will be counted only once, re-
gardless of the number of times that it has been repeated.
The grade earned in the last attempt will determine the
number of honor points assigned for graduation. Addition-
ally, the student must earn a grade-point average of 2.0 or
better on each of the following:
a. all work at Armstrong
b. all courses in the major field.
8. To qualify for a second baccalaureate degree, a candidate
must earn at Armstrong at least 45 additional hours of credit
and, of course, meet all qualitative requirements for the de-
gree.
9. Before a degree will be conferred upon a student by
Armstrong State College he must pay all fees and must sub-
mit to the Registrar his completed Application for Gradua-
tion two quarters before graduation. A candidate for a de-
gree, unless excused in writing by the President, Vice Presi-
dent, or Dean of Student Affairs, must attend the graduation
exercises at which a degree is to be conferred upon him.
10. Each student must successfully complete the Regents' Test
and must take an Exit Examination in his major field as
requirements for graduation. Candidates for a second bac-
calaureate degree are exempted from the Regents' Test re-
quirement.
Course and Study Load
The normal course load for a full-time student is 15-18 quarter
hours (and a course in physical education during the freshman and
sophomore years). An average student should devote at least thirty
hours each week, in addition, to course preparation.
A full-time student is defined as one who is registered for 12 or
more quarter hours. A part-time student is one registered for less
than 12 quarter hours. A student should plan about ten hours prep-
aration per week for each 5 quarter hour course.
Classification of Students
A student who has earned 45 quarter hours of credit will be clas-
sified as a sophomore; 90 quarter hours of credit, as a junior; 135
quarter hours of credit, as a senior.
Permission for Overload or Courses at Another
College
Permission to enroll for more than 18 quarter hours will be
granted by the Registrar to a student:
1. with an average grade of "B" for full-time enrollment in the
preceding quarter, or
2. with an overall grade-point average of 3.0, or
3. requiring an extra course in one of the two quarters prior to
graduation.
No student will be allowed to register for more than 21 quarter
hours in any one quarter.
55
A student who is on academic probation will not be permitted to
register for more than 18 quarter hours in any one quarter.
Exceptions to these limitations may be made only by the appro-
priate Dean.
A student enrolled at Armstrong who at the same time takes
course for credit at another college may not transfer such credit to
Armstrong, unless he has obtained in advance the written permis-
sion of the appropriate Dean at Armstrong State College to register
for those courses.
Reports and Grades
The faculty feels that students in college should be held account-
able for their scholarship. Accordingly, grade reports, warnings of
deficient scholarship and all such notices are not sent to parents or
guardians by the Registrar. Instead, the students themselves re-
ceive these reports and are expected to contact their advisors
whenever their work is unsatisfactory. Grade reports are issued at
the end of each quarter. Each student has access to an advisor; in
addition, the Registrar and all instructors are available to help any
student seeking assistance.
Armstrong State College awards the following grades which are
used in the determination of a student's grade-point average:
Grade
Honor Points
A (excellent)
4.0
B (good)
3.0
C (satisfactory)
2.0
D (passing)
F (failure)
F (withdrew, failing)
1.0
0.0
0.0
The student's cumulative grade-point average recorded on his
permanent record card is determined by dividing the total honor
points earned by the total hours attempted. The student's adjusted
grade-point average is determined by dividing the total honor
points earned by the total hours attempted, with hours and honor
points for repeated courses not duplicated in the calculation.
Armstrong State College also uses the following symbols for
grade reports. These symbols carry no honor points and are not
included in the determination of either the cumulative grade-point
average or the adjusted grade-point average.
Symbol Explanation
W withdrew, no penalty
I incomplete
S satisfactory
U unsatisfactory
V audit
K credit by examination
P passing, special studies
A student who receives a report of "I" for a course should consult
his instructor at once and arrange to complete the requirements of
the course. An "I" which has not been removed by the middle of the
succeeding quarter is automatically changed to an "F" unless the
instructor recommends an extension in writing addressed to the
appropriate Dean. The "S" and "U" symbols may be utilized for
completion of degree requirements other than academic course
56
work (such as student teaching, clinical practica, etc.). Withdrawal
without penalty (W) is not permitted after the quarterly dates
listed in the "Academic Calendar" in this Bulletin as the dates for
mid-term. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Vice
President and will be approved only on the basis of hardship. Ap-
peals for a change of grade may be initiated through the Head of the
appropriate academic department in accordance with the Regula-
tions of Armstrong State College.
Honors
Dean's List: Students enrolled for at least ten quarter hours of
course work who earn an honor point average of at least 3.5 will be
placed on the Dean's List, published quarterly. Only course work
taken at Armstrong will be used in the computation of Dean's List
honors.
Cum Laude: Those students graduating with an honor point av-
erage of 3.2 through 3.499 will be graduated cum laude.
Magna Cum Laude: Those students graduating with an honor
point average of 3.5 through 3.799 will be graduated magna cum
laude.
Summa Cum Laude: Those students graduated with an honor
point average of 3.8 through 4.0 will be graduated summa cum
laude.
All work attempted at Armstrong and other accredited institu-
tions will be considered in computing honors for graduation. (But
note caveat on inside front cover.)
Attendance
The control of student attendance at class meetings and the ef-
fect of a student's attendance on his grades in a course are left
entirely to the discretion of the instructor.
A student is responsible for knowing everything that is an-
nounced, discussed, or lectured upon in class as well as for master-
ing all assigned reading; he is also responsible for turning in on
time all assignments and tests, including recitation and unan-
nounced quizzes.
The instructor will be responsible for informing each class at its
first meeting what constitutes excessive absence in that particular
class. Each student is responsible for knowing the attendance regu-
lation in his/her class and for complying with it. An instructor may
drop a student from any class with a grade of "W" or "WF," as
appropriate, if in the instructor's judgment the student's absences
have been excessive.
Satisfactory Progress
For purpose of financial aid, a student is deemed to be making
satisfactory progress toward a degree until such time as he/she is
placed on academic suspension from the College. The student, upon
his readmission to the College, must, in the first quarter after
readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point-average before he/she is again
57
considered to be making satisfactory progress toward a degree. The
award of financial aid will be suspended during this quarter.
Academic Probation and Dismissal
A student who maintains or exceeds the grade-point average in-
dicated below for quarter hours attempted will be considered in
good standing.
When a student first falls below the GPA required for the appro-
priate accumulation of hours, he will be placed on academic warn-
ing. If he does not raise his GPA to a satisfactory level the next
quarter, he will be placed on academic probation.

adjusted average, but who does earn an average of at least 2.0
during the probationary quarter, will be continued on probation for
the next quarter of attendance. The College places no restrictions
on the extracurricular activities of students who are placed on
academic probation. Any student on academic probation should
plan both his curricular and extracurricular activites with care,
consulting with his advisor in so doing.
The student on academic probation who does not achieve the
required adjusted average or who does not earn an average of at
least 2.0 for the quarter in which he is on probation will be sus-
pended from the college for one quarter. A student who is on
academic suspension for the first time, however, has the option of
attending summer school without having to appeal the suspension.
A third academic suspension is final.
A student reentering the college after academic suspension is
placed on probation and must meet the requirements listed above.
A student suspended for academic reasons may appeal by letter
to the Committee on Academic Standing to be delivered to the Of-
fice of Student Affairs. Such a letter of appeal should state the
nature of any extenuating circumstances relating to the academic
deficiency; the letter should be received no later than 9 a.m. on
registration day. No action will be taken on appeals received later
than 12:00 noon on the day following registration day. The action of
the Committee on Academic Standing is final.
58
Repeating Courses
Any course for which a grade of "D" or "F" has been recorded may
be repeated with the last grade to be counted in the adjusted
grade-point average. A student who repeats any such courses
should complete a "Notice of Course Repetition" form available in
the Office of the Registrar.
Dropping Courses
A student desiring to drop a course after the quarter has begun
must obtain a Drop- Add Notice in the Office of the Registrar. The
notice must be signed by the instructor of the course being dropped
and returned by the student to the Registrar's Office.
A student who drops a course not more than seven class days
after the course begins will receive no grade for the course. A stu-
dent who drops a course after the first seven class days and on or
before the quarterly dates listed in the " Academic Calendar" in this
Bulletin for mid-term will receive a "W" or a "WF" depending on his
status in the course. A student may not drop a course without pen-
alty following the quarterly dates listed in the "Academic Calendar"
for mid-term.
Withdrawing from College
Any student who finds it neccessary to withdraw from college
must begin the process in the Office of Student Affairs. A formal
withdrawal is required to insure that the student is eligible to re-
turn to Armstrong State College at a future date. Any refund to
which a student is entitled will be considered on the basis of the
date which appears on the withdrawal form.
Auditing
A regular student wishing to "audit" a course without receiving
credit must obtain permission of the instructor before he registers
for the course. During the registration process the student should
request to "audit" a course. (Policy for some courses forbids "audit-
ing.") A student may not change from audit to credit status or from
credit to audit status after he has completed the process of registra-
tion for a course. A student who audits a course will have a "V"
recorded for that course on his transcript. The regular schedule of
fees applies to auditors, unauthorized auditing is prohibited.
Honor Code
The Honor Code at Armstrong State College is dedicated to the
proposition that the protection of the grading system is in the in-
terest of the student community. The Student Court is an institu-
tional means to assure that the student community shall have
primary disposition of infractions of the Honor Code and that stu-
dents accused of such infractions shall enjoy those procedural
59
guarantees traditionally considered essential to fair and impartial
hearing, the foremost of which is the presumption of innocence
until guilt be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
I. Responsibilities of Students:
All students must agree to abide by the rules of the Honor
Code. A student shall not be accepted at Armstrong State
College unless he or she signs a statement affirming his un-
derstanding of this agreement. The Honor Code shall be
printed in the official bulletin and the Student Handbook.
It will be the responsibility of the Student Court or its des-
ignated representative to conduct an orientation program at
the beginning of each quarter for all newly entering students
to explain fully the Honor Code and to allow full discussion of
its requirements.
Any student desiring assistance with any matter related to
the Honor Code is invited to seek assistance in the Office of
Student Affairs.
II. Violations of the Honor Code:
Violations of the Honor Code may be of two kinds: (a) gen-
eral and (b) those related to the peculiarities of specific
course-related problems and to the understanding of indi-
vidual instructors. Any instructor whose conception of cheat-
ing would tend to enlarge or contract the general regulations
defining cheating must explicitly notify the affected students
of the qualifications to the general regulations which he
wishes to stipulate. The following will be considered general
violations of the Honor Code.
1. Giving or receiving any unauthorized help on any assign-
ment, test or paper. The meaning of "unauthorized help"
shall be made clear by the instructor of each class.
2. Stealing when related to cheating.
3. Plagiarizing.
4. Giving perjured testimony before the Student Court.
5. Suborning, attempting to suborn, or intimidating
witnesses.
6. Failing to report a suspected violation of the Honor Code.
III. Reporting Violations of the Honor Code:
Anyone wishing to report a violation may come to the Of-
fice of Student Affairs for assistance in contacting members
of the Student Court.
A. Self-reporting: A student who has broken the Honor Code
should report himself to a member of the Student Court.
B. Anyone (faculty member or student) who is aware of a
violation of the Honor Code must report the matter. This
may be done in one of two ways:
1. He may tell the person thought to be guilty to report
himself to a member of the Student Court no later than
the end of the next school day. After this designated
time the person who is aware of the violation must
inform a member of the Student Court so that the Stu-
dent Court may contact the accused person if he has
not already reported himself.
60
2. He may report the suspected violation directly to a
member of the Student Court without informing the
accused.
IV. The procedural rights of the students accused of violations of
the Honor Code:
The essence of the procedural rights of an accused is the
right to a fair and impartial hearing and the right to be pre-
sumed innocent until proven guilty. Specific rights are as
follows:
1. The accused will be notified in writing by the Student
Court or its designated representative of the nature and
details of the offense with which he is charged along with
the names of his accusers and the principal witnesses to be
brought against him. This notification shall occur no less
than three days prior to the date of the hearing.
2. The accused has the right to counsel of his own choosing.
Such counsel will not participate directly in the proceed-
ings except to advise his client. It is expected that such
counsel will be drawn from the college community.
3. The accused and the person bringing the charges shall be
afforded an opportunity to present witnesses and
documentary or other evidence. The accused and any in-
dividual bringing the charges shall have the right to cross
examine all witnesses and may, where the witnesses can-
not appear because of illness or other cause acceptable to
the Court, present the sworn statement of the witnesses.
The Court shall not be bound by formal rules governing
the presentation of evidence, and it may consider any evi-
dence presented which is of probative value in the case.
4. The accused may not be made to bear witness against
himself. The Court may not take the refusal of the accused
to testify as evidence of guilt, but this proviso does not give
the accused immunity from a hearing or from recommen-
dations reached in a hearing simply because the accused
does not testify.
5. The accused shall have access to a complete audiotape of
the hearing and to the record prepared by the secretary.
6. The substantive facts of a case may be re-opened for con-
sideration upon initiation of the accused acting through
normal appeal channels. The accused shall not be put in
double jeopardy.
7. All witnesses will be sequestered from the hearing room
during the course of a hearing. Witnesses may not discuss
a pending case.
8. By prior agreement, the accused will be allowed such ob-
servers of the hearing as may be commensurate with the
space available. Otherwise, in the interests of the right of
privacy of the accused, hearings will be private, except
that the College may also have observers additional to the
advisors to the Student Court.
V. The Honor Code Commission, The Student Court Selection
Committee, The Student Court, and Advisers to the Court:
61
A. Honor Code Commission
It shall be the purpose of the Honor Code Commission to
administer the student academic honor code. The Commis-
sion will have the responsibility for revising and updating
the student academic honor code as needs arise. The Honor
Code Commission shall consist of the President, Vice-
President, and Secretary of the Student Government Associ-
ation and the current President and Secretary of Student
Court together with three faculty members appointed by the
President of the College.
B. Student Court Selection Committee
The Student Court Selection committee will select mem-
bers for the Student Court. The Student Court Selection
Committee will consist of two faculty members from the
Honor Code Commission, one of whom is the chairperson
of that commission, two students from the Honor Code
Commission, one of whom is a member of the Student
Court, two faculty members from the Conduct Commit-
tee, one of whom is the chairperson of that committee,
two students from the Conduct Committee, one of whom
is a member of the Student Court, and the Dean of
Students.
C. Student Court
1. The Student Court will be selected by the Student
Court Selection Committee and will be composed of
twelve students. Due consideration will be given to
equitable apportionment of court members on the
basis of academic class, race, and sex. Students on
academic probation may not serve. All appointments
will be issued and accepted in writing. Appointments
will be made during Spring Quarter in time for newly
elected members of the Court to assume their duties
by May 1. Appointments will be made as needed to
keep the Student Court staffed to do business on a
reasonably prompt basis. These appointments may
constitute permanent or temporary replacements as
the Student Court Selection Committee deems
necessary.
2. The Student Court will elect a President, Vice-
President, and a Secretary from its membership. The
President will preside at all meetings. The Vice-
President will assume the duties of the President if the
President is absent. The Secretary will maintain writ-
ten notes of all proceedings and audiotape records of
all testimony, and will maintain exhibits of evidence
which by their nature may reasonably be maintained
in the Court files. A quorum of the Court shall consist
of eight members. A two-thirds majority secret ballot
vote is required to reach a finding of guilty. All other
questions may be decided by a simple majority vote.
3. Constituency of the Student Court during the Summer
Quarter shall include all appointed members in atten-
62
dance, and other shall be appointed to membership by
the Student Court Selection Committee.
4. Student Court Members shall examine their con-
sciences carefully to determine whether they can in
good conscience serve on a panel hearing a particular
case, and in the event that there is any doubt, what-
soever, such members shall excuse themselves from
duty on the specific panel in question.
B. Advisers to the Court
1. An adviser and an associate adviser to the Student
Court shall be appointed by the President of the Col-
lege.
2. Ordinarily the adviser will serve in that office for one
year only and usually will be succeeded in that position
by the associate adviser. Therefore, after the initial
appointments, only an associate adviser will ordinar-
ily be appointed each year. The succession of an as-
sociate to the adviser position is deemed to occur on
the last day of Spring Quarter. If, for any reason, the
adviser is unable to complete his term, the associate
adviser shall succeed to the office of adviser and
another associate adviser shall be appointed by the
above procedures. If, during the Summer Quarter,
neither adviser is on campus, a temporary adviser will
be appointed.
3. Duties of the adviser and the associate adviser: It shall
be the duty of the adviser to consult with the Court and
to offer advice to the President and members of the
Court on substantive and procedural questions. The
adviser, or the associate adviser in the event the ad-
viser is unable to attend, shall be present at all meet-
ings and hearings of the Court. The Adviser may not
vote nor may he participate directly in the conduct of
hearings before the Court except through the chair-
man, or acting chairman, of the Court. The adviser
should be governed at all times by the principle that a
hearing before the student court is primarily a matter
of student responsibility.
VI. Procedures and Penalties adopted by the Student Court:
The Student Court shall formulate its own bylaws govern-
ing internal organization and procedure. Such bylaws must
be consistent with the Honor Code.
A. Hearings shall be called by the Court President to be held
on a date not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10)
class days after notice to the accused as provided in Sec-
tion IV-2. Exceptions to these time requirements may be
granted.
B. Upon reaching a finding of guilty, the Court shall make a
recommendation to the Vice President of the College as to
the administrative action it deems appropriate within
the following limitations:
1. A minimum penalty shall be loss of assignment or test
63
credit for the assignment or test for violations involv-
ing cheating as specified in Section II, subsections 1, 2,
and 3. Additional penalties such as reprimands, sus-
pension, or others may be recommended for any as-
pects of Section II.
2. Maximum penalty for a first offense of any type shall
be suspension for a full calendar year.
3. Maximum penalty for a second offense may be suspen-
sion for three years.
C. Immediately following a hearing, the accused will be in-
formed of the Court's finding, and its recommendation to
the Vice President of the College. If the finding is guilty,
the accused will be informed that the Court may re-open
the case with the consent of the accused for good cause,
within a three week period.
D. The Vice President of the College will inform all involved
persons in writing of the action he has taken in view of
Court recommendations. The Court Secretary will post
public notice of the Vice President's action by case
number without identifying the accused.
VII. Appeals of Findings and Penalties:
Should a student have cause to question the findings of the
Court or the action of the Vice President of the College or
both, he has the right to appeal. The channels of appeal are as
follows:
A. Court findings and/or the administrative action of the
Vice President of the College may be appealed within five
days by writing the President of the College. Further ap-
peal procedures will conform to the appeal procedures of
the College and of the Policies of the Board of Regents,
University System of Georgia (a copy of these policies is
available in the Library; see chapter on Students, section
on appeals, page 165, 1969 edition).
VIII. Supervision of the Student Court:
As an institutional means of responding to reported infrac-
tions of the Honor Code, the Student Court is ultimately re-
sponsible to the President of the College.
Supervision of the Student Court will be accomplished or-
dinarily through the Dean of Student Affairs and the Ad-
visors.
A. Dean of Student Affairs
In accordance with Article VI, Section F, of the College
Statutes, the Dean of Student Affairs will provide gen-
eral supervision of the Student Court and will provide
other guidance or services as directed by the President of
the College.
IX. Revision of the Honor code will require confirmation by the
majority vote of those faculty and student body members
voting.

Regents' Testing Program
The University System of Georgia requires that all students suc-
cessfully complete tests of writing skills and reading comprehen-
sion as a requirement for graduation. An individual holding a bac-
calaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institu-
tion of higher education will not be required to complete the Re-
gents' Test for a second degree. An individual who successfully
completed the Regents' Test as part of an associate degree program
will not be required to repeat the Test as part of a subsequent
baccalaureate degree program.
Students may take the Test upon completion of the required
composition sequence in their degree programs (English 111, 112
for associate degrees; English 111, 112, 211 for baccalaureate de-
grees). Students must take the Test in the quarter after their comple-
tion ofU5 hours in their degree program. They will be notified to do so
on their grade reports for the quarter in which the 45th hour has
been completed. Students who neglect to take the Test when first
notified to do so will be prohibited from pre-registering at the Col-
lege for a subsequent quarter. They may, however, register at the
regularly scheduled registration.
"Students who neglect to take the Test by the quarter following their
60th credit hour earned will be prohibited from registering at
Armstrong State College for subsequent quarters."
Transfer Students will be subject to the above requirements.
Transfer students who have earned 60 or more quarter hours must
take the Regents' Test during their first quarter of attendance.
Students who do not pass the Test will be notified of eligibility for
review and of requirements for remedial courses. Students who do
68
not pass the writing skills portion of the Test may request a formal
review upon meeting conditions of eligibility stated in the Regents'
Testing Program Policy.
Students who have not passed the Test upon their completion of 75
quarter hours of credit will be required to enroll in the remedial
course or courses of reading and lor writing in each quarter of atten-
dance until such time as they pass the Test.
The complete text of the policy for the Regents' Testing Program
is printed as an appendix to this Bulletin.
Exit Examinations
Each student who receives a degree from Armstrong State Col-
lege at the Associate or Baccalaureate degree level is required to
take an Exit Examination in his/her major area. Each Exit Exami-
nation is designed to assess the mastery of concepts, principles, and
knowledge expected of the student at the conclusion of major study.
Please see the appropriate department head for further informa-
tion concerning these examinations.
Physical Education Program
All students who are enrolled in baccalaureate degree programs
for ten quarter hours or more on the dof high school ROTC may also be
granted placement credit. Placement credit or six quarters of basic
military science, or the equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to ad-
mission into the advanced program.
Advanced Military Science
The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce
junior officers who by education, training, attitude and inherent
qualities are suitable for continued development as officers in the
Army. There are two avenues available for the student to be eligi-
ble for entry into the advanced program and obtain a commission as
a second lieutenant:
(a) satisfactory completion of, or placement credit for, the basic
program at Armstrong State or at any other school, college or
university offering basic ROTC and meeting the entrance
and retention requirements established by the Army.
(b) be an active duty veteran or junior ROTC cadet graduate
eligible for placement credit.
Alternate Programs for Admittance to Advanced
Military Science
Students with two years of coursework remaining, but who have
not completed basic military science, are eligible to be considered
for selection into the advanced military science program. Those
selected under the provisions of the two-year advanced program
must satisfactorily complete a basic summer camp of six weeks
duration prior to entering the advanced program or must enroll in
the condensed summer school phase of the basic course. This latter
program consists of six, two-hour courses given during the summer
quarter. A student may take other courses during this session.
75
Upon successful completion of the military science courses, they
will be placed in the advanced course. Students attending the basic
camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are paid at active army rates and
given a travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Advanced Summer Camp
Students contracting to pursue the advanced courses are re-
quired to attend advanced summer camp, normally between their
junior and senior academic years at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Students attending this camp are paid at active army rates and
given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Financial Assistance
All advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $100 per
month while enrolled in the advanced course.
Scholarship Program
Each year the U.S. Army awards one-, two- and three-year schol-
arships to outstanding young men and women participating in the
Army ROTC program who desire careers as regular Army officers.
The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory expenses incur-
red by the scholarship student and, in addition, each student re-
ceives $100 per month for the academic year. Individuals desiring
to compete for these scholarships should apply to the Army Mili-
tary Science Department at Armstrong State College.
Army ROTC Uniforms Books and Supplies
Students enrolling in the Army ROTC program will be issued U.S.
Army uniforms, books and supplies by the Military Science
Department. No fees or deposits of any kind will be required. Un-
iforms must be returned before commissioning or upon disenroll-
ment from the ROTC program.
Army ROTC Courses (MIL)
The basic course of six quarters duration consists of two hours of
classroom work per week. In the classroom, the student acquires
knowledge of military organization, weapons, tactics, basic mili-
tary skills, history and customs. In field training exercises, poten-
tial for leadership is progressively developed.
The advanced course consists of three hours of classroom work
per week for two quarters in the third and fourth years. During the
spring quarter prior to advanced camp the student will enroll in
MIL 303 to prepare for attendance at Advanced Camp. This two-
hour course is normally taken during the third year. One quarter of
the senior year must include an elective approved by the Military
Science Department. The coursework during the advanced course
emphasizes techniques of management and leadership and the
fundamentals and dynamics of the military team. Field training
exercises provide the student with applied leadership experiences.
76
Minor Concentration
The department offers a minor in Military Science. The program
is designed to prepare the student for a commission in the United
States Army and is offered to, but not required of, those students
participating in the advanced course of Army ROTC instruction.
Whatever the major, a Military Science minor will strengthen the
student's management, leadership, and interpersonal communica-
tion skills. The minor requires:
Fourteen (14) credit hourswith grades of "C" or better in the fol-
lowing upper division military science courses: 301, 302, 303, 401,
402; and ten (10) additional credit hours of coursework approved by
the department.

The Major in Biology
The major in biology consists of Biology 101, 102, Botany 203,
Zoology 204, and at least 40 quarter hours credit in biology courses
(botany, zoology, etc.) numbered 300 or above. The majority of the
courses in the major numbered 300 or above must be taken in the
Biology Department at Armstrong State College.
In addition, biology majors must complete elementary statistics
and the course sequence in organic chemistry (15 quarter hours).
The course in general college physics (15 quarter hours) is strongly
recommended and should be considered essential for those who
expect to continue the study of biology beyond the B.S. degree.
Each student acquiring a major in biology must include in his
program the following courses: Biology 370; Biology 480; Botany
410 or Zoology 410; one course in botany numbered 300 or above,
other than Botany 410; and one course in zoology numbered 300 or
above, other than Zoology 410. If credit for any of the first three
required units is transferred to Armstrong from another college,
the department may require that it be validated by examination.
To be admitted to courses in biology above the freshman level
(those numbered 200 or above), the student must have completed
the prerequisites for each with at least a grade of "C" for each
prerequisite. To be eligible for a B.S. degree in biology the student
must have a grade of at least "C" for all upper division courses
(those numbered 300 or above) in biology.
Beginning students who have successfully completed strong
courses in biology in high school are advised to take examinations
for advanced placement or for credit for Biology 101 and/or Biology
102. Arrangements to take these examinations may be made with
the head of the department.
In order to receive Core Curriculum credits for the biology
laboratory science sequence by taking biology in the Savannah
State-Armstrong exchange program, a student must take the EN-
TIRE sequence of ten quarter hours either at Armstrong State
College or at Savannah State College.
Students majoring in biology may concurrently complete all
pre-medical, pre-dental, and/or pre-veterinary requirements and
all requirements for secondary teaching certification in science
(biology). The Biology Department co-ordinates the program in
Medical Technology.
Students majoring in biology and/or pursuing a pre-professional
program should work closely with an assigned departmental ad-
visor in planning their undergraduate programs.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND
POLITICAL SCIENCE
Professor Roger K. Warlick, Head; Professors Beecher, Burnett,
Coyle, Duncan, Gross, Lanier, McCarthy, and Newman; Associate
Professors Arens and Patterson; Assistant Professors Boney,
Comaskey, Hudgins, Rhee, and Stone; Instructors Banner and
Robertson.
All students are reminded that any who receive degrees from the
University System of Georgia are required to demonstrate profi-
ciency in U.S. and Georgia History and Constitutions. This re-
quirement may be met by the successful completion of Political
Science 113 and History 251 or 252 or may be exempted by examina-
tion with credit awarded. See "Academic Regulations" section.
The Department offers the following major degree programs:
B.A., History
B.A., Political Science
and in cooperation with the School of Education, the following
107
programs leading to secondary school teacher certification:
B.A. History (with certification)
B.A. Political Science (with certification)
B.S. Ed., Secondary Education, History Concen-
tration
B.S. Ed., Secondary Education, Political Science
Concentration
and: M.ED., History (See Graduate Bulletin for T-5 programs)
M.ED., Political Science (See Graduate Bulletin for T-5
programs)
In addition, there are minor programs available in the following
fields:
History
International Studies
Museum Studies /\Yt+ *
Political Science H
Preservation Studies
Russian Studies
A major in Political Science or History is most useful to those who
plan to enter teaching, library or archival work, publishing, jour-
nalism, historic preservation, museology, historic site curation, or
such professional fields as international business, law or theology.
Either major is also a desirable foundation for opportunities in or
related to government (e.g., civil and foreign service, A.I.D.,
U.S.I.A., ACTION, teaching abroad, etc.) Beyond these fields there
is an enormous variety of organizations (local, national, and inter-
national) whose philanthropic, sectarian, or economic interests re-
quire people with the skills and sensitivity cultivated by a major in
History or Political Science.
Majors in History
The major in History may take either of two forms: History or
History (T-4 Certification). Regardless of the option chosen, how-
ever, students majoring in history should satisfy the college core
requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree during the Freshman
and Sophomore years. To complete the major requires, beyond
Western Civilization (History 114-115) and U.S. History (History
251-252), forty quarter hours from courses numbered 300 or above
(with grades of "C" or better) including History 300. Students
should register for History 300 in the Sophomore or early in the
Junior year, or in the first possible quarter after.
In History per se, the major program must also include: (a) 25
quarter hours as approved by faculty advisor in related fields such
as anthropology, history of art and music, economics, literature,
political science, philosophy, psychology, sociology, or statistics;
and (b) a fifteen quarter hour foreign language sequence, or profi-
ciency in a language through the 103 level. Students who con-
template graduate work in history, however, are strongly advised
to continue their linguistic study beyond this elementary level. The
history faculty will consider substitutions only when compelling
reasons argue against fulfillingthe language requirement and only
when the proposed substitute offers an additional research skill or
108
a study in depth of a foreign culture. In selecting course work, a
student may emphasize the history of one particular area (e.g.,
U.S., European, or Russian-Asian-African-Latin American), but
must complete at least ten quarter hours of history outside the area
of concentration.
In History (Certification) the program takes a more structured
form in order to meet criteria for the Georgia Teacher's Profes-
sional Four- Year Certificate (T-4). Students in this program are,
therefore, urged to establish contact with the Department early in
their college work so as to be directed to the appropriate academic
advisor.
Opportunities for Independent Study work exist in all three con-
centration areas, but no more than 10 such hours may be counted
among the forty (40) upper division history hours required for the
majors in History and History (Certification).

program.
Majors in Political Science
A major in Political Science may take three distinctly differing
forms: Political Science, Public Administration, or Political Science
(Certification).
All students majoring in Political Science, regardless of the op-
tion chosen, should satisfy the college core requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts during their Freshman and Sophomore years.
To complete a Political Science major requires, beyond American
Government (113), forty quarter hours of upper division courses in
the field (with grades of "C" or better). Further, the program must
include at least one course from each of the following groups:
I. American Political Institutions
II. International Relations
III. Political Theory
IV. Comparative Government
The major's program must also include Mathematics 220, and at
least 25 hours of course-work in such fields as Economics, History,
Geography, Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychol-
ogy, or Sociology.
The Political Science major allows the option of a foreign lan-
guage (French or German preferred) through the 103 level or a
sequence of computer science courses. Students who contemplate
graduate work in Political Science, however, are strongly advised
to take the foreign language option and to continue their linguistics
study beyond the 103 level.
The programs in Public Administration and Political Science
(Certification) are more structured in order to prepare students
adequately to meet the demands of their professions and of appro-
priate licensing agencies. The Certification option, for example
111
when completed according to the plan (below), meets all criteria for
the Four- Year Certificate (T-4) of the State of Georgia Department
of Education.

Program for the Degree
Bachelor of Science in Education with a
Major in Secondary Education
in the Teaching Field of Social Studies
with a Concentration in Political Science
See the Department of Secondary Education in the School of
Education section of this catalog for a description of this B.S. Ed.
program.
Minor Concentrations
History
The minor concentration in History is both simple and practical.
It is practical because the notation of a History minor on the trans-
cript indicates to an employer that the applicant has some solid
liberal arts back-ground with its accompanying insight into the
development and functioning of modern society and that the
applicant has made an extra effort to refine research and writing
skills so essential to dealing with that society. Whatever the major
one chooses, a minor in History will strengthen the student's
academic record. The minor is simple because of its requirements:
Twenty (20) hours of upper division History courses (300 level or
higher) with grades of "C" of better.

Russian Studies
The department offers an interdiciplinary minor in Russian
Studies which requires 20 hours at the intermediate and advanced

Preservation Studies: MPS 412, 420, 421, or 422, 402 or 498.
These specialized programs are designed to be appropriate
professional additions to majors in a variety of related fields
such as Art History, Anthropology, American Studies, History,
and Public Administration.
Students who hope to work in history-related fields upon
graduation should consider adding a minor in Museum or Pres-
ervation studies. Through this program unique opportunities
are provided for qualified students to gain practical experience
while making a realistic assessment of the possibilities offered
by their field of interest. Cooperative arrangements with His-
toric Savannah Foundation, Georgia Historical Society. Savan-
nah Landmark Project, Oatland Island Center, and with a
number of museums and historical sites, such as Telfair
Adademy, Ft. Pulaski, Juliette Low Center, and Ft. King
George, permit placement of students in positions relating to:
(a) archival and manuscript curation,
(b) historic site administration and interpretation,
(c) museum studies, and
(d) historic preservation
Political Science
The minor in Political Science noted on a student's transcript
indicates to a potential employer that the applicant for a posi-
tion has some solid liberal arts background with its accompany-
ing insight into the development and functioning of modern so-
ciety. It also indicates that the applicant has made extra effort
to refine the research and writing skills essential in dealing with
that society. Whatever the major, a Political Science minor will
strengthen the student's academic record. The minor requires
twenty (20) hours of upper division Political Science courses (300

DEPARTMENTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
AND
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Professor Leska, Acting Head; Professor Emeritus Winn; Profes-
sors Hinkel and Hudson; Associate Professors Kilhefner, Munson,
Netherton, and Shipley; Assistant Professors Findeis, Geoffroy,
and Leska.
The department offers four baccalaureate (four-year) programs
of study, with each leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in the mathematical sciences. Under this one baccalaureate
degree designation students may pursue concentrations entitled
"Mathematics," "Applied Mathematics/' "Mathematics Educa-
tion," and "Computer Science." The mathematics education con-
centration is specifically designed to prepare teachers of secondary
mathematics and is an approved program for the Georgia Teacher's
Professional Four- Year Certificate (T-4). The Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science also participates in the Dual-
Degree Program of Armstrong State College and the Georgia Insti-
tute of Technology, under which students may, in five years of
study, earn simultaneously the B.S. degree in the mathematical
sciences (applied mathematics) from Armstrong and the Bachelor's
degree in any one of a number of fields of engineering from Georgia
Tech.
Armstrong State College has requested permission from the
Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to offer the
(two-year) degree, Associate in Science. If such permission is
granted, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
will then offer programs of study leading to the Associate in Science
degree with concentrations in the mathematical sciences and a
program of study (jointly with the Department of Chemistry and
Physics) leading to the Associate in Science degree with a concen-
tration in pre-engineering. At the time of publication of this Bulle-
tin, the decision relative to offering the A.S. degree at Armstrong
State College was pending. Pending approval of the Associate in
Science degree, students can, with an appropriate choice of elec-
tives, complete similar programs of study under the College's exist-
ing (general) Associate in Arts degree. Students interested in
either the two-year program in mathematical sciences or the two-
year program in pre-engineering should consult with the depart-
ment head concerning their status.
The department also offers a minor in computer science. Students
in any major program of study whatever (either two-year or four-
year) can augment their major with the computer science minor.
145
The minor in computer science requires 25 quarter hours of com-
puter science courses. These courses must consist of C.S.110, 231 or
241, 301, 306, and five additional hours in computer science ap-
proved by the Head of the Department of Mathematics and Com-
puter Science. The 25 quarter hours must be completed with a
grade average of "C" or better.
The department is considering the development of a minor in
mathematics as well. Interested students should consult with the
department head for details.

Transfer Students - Savannah State College
Teacher Education students who transfer to Armstrong State
College from Savannah State College in the program exchange
being implemented as part of the State Desegregation Plan and
who will be able to complete their programs by August 1980, may
elect to receive their degrees from Armstrong or Savannah State
College. The transfer student from Savannah State College who
will complete the requirements for the degree after August, 1980,
must complete the appropriate Armstrong requirements. How-
ever, courses taken by the student at Savannah State College
which are reasonably equivalent to courses required at Armstrong
will substitute for these required courses. It is important that each
student in a Teacher Education program meet with his/her as-
signed advisor early in the fall quarter and during each subsequent
quarter to develop an approved program of studies and to make
certain that he/she is meeting the requirements leading toward the
appropriate degree.
Cooperative Programs - Savannah State College
Savannah State College cooperates with Armstrong State
College in offering the following majors in: (1) Industrial Arts Edu-
cation, (2) Trade and Industrial Education, and (3) Business Educa-
tion. Coursework in the major field of study for each of these pro-
grams is offered by Savannah State. Students interested in these
programs should contact the head of the Department of Secondary
Education at Armstrong State College.
General Requirements
Teacher Education Programs
These requirements apply to all students in Teacher Education
programs at Armstrong State College.
Recommendation for Certificate
To be recommended for a teaching certificate, a student must
complete an approved teacher certification program of Armstrong
State College.
162
Program Completion
A student must complete the college approved program for cer-
tification within the four years following his/her admission to the
Teacher Education program. In the event that the student does not
complete his program in four years, he/he must meet the require-
ments of the program in effect at that time.
NTE Requirement
All students completing Teacher Education programs are re-
quired to take both the Common Examinations and the appropriate
Teaching Area Examination of the National Teacher Examina-
tions. Students must submit the scores from these examinations to
the School of Education before the college can verify that an ap-
proved program has been completed. Additional information about
these tests can be secured from the Office of Counseling and Place-
ment.
Academic Advisement
A student who desires to become an elementary or secondary
school teacher should apply during the first quarter of residence to
the School of Education for academic advisement. He should follow
without deviation the approved program. Upon admission to
Teacher Education, students will be assigned advisors as follows:
1. Early Elementary and Middle School education majors are
assigned an advisor in the Department of Elementary Educa-
tion who will assist the student in planning the total program
of studies.
2. Students pursuing secondary or all level programs will be as-
signed an advisor in the Department of Secondary Education
to assist them concerning the professional sequence courses
and certification requirements. In addition, students will have
an advisor in the teaching field major to approve the courses in
the teaching field. Assignment of the teaching field advisor
will be made by the academic department offering the major.
Each student must have his secondary teaching program ap-
proved in advance by both advisors. Special forms for this pur-
pose are to be filed with each advisor and a copy given to the
student.
Admission to Teacher Education
All students pursuing a program leading toward certification by
the Georgia State Department of Education as teachers must apply
for admission to the Teacher Education program. This application
will normally be filed during the third quarter of the sophomore
year or, for transfer students, in the first quarter of the junior year.
Application forms may be secured from the office of the Dean of the
School of Education. The following criteria are used in admitting
applicants to teacher education.
1. Completion of at least 60 quarter hours of college credit with a

September Practicum
The purpose of the September Practicum is to provide an oppor-
tunity for future teachers (1) to learn what teachers do at the be-
ginning of a new school term, (2) to participate in experiences that
will assist the prospective teacher with future decisions concerning
teaching as a career, and (3) to become acquainted with the organi-
zation and curriculum of a particular school.
The September Practicum occurs during the first two weeks of
the public school term (usually in late August and early September)
and should be scheduled during the student's junior or senior year.
No credit is given for the September Practicum, but it is a require-
ment in all of the teaching fields in the Armstrong State College
Teacher Education Program.
Application for the September Practicum should be made during
the first week of the Spring Quarter for a September Practicum in
the forth-coming September. The student should contact the Direc-
tor of Professional Laboratory Experiences.
Student Teaching
Student teaching, the culminating activity of the professional
sequence, is provided in selected off-campus school centers. The full
quarter of student teaching is arranged cooperatively by the
college, the participating schools, and supervising teachers. Com-
pleted applications for admission to student teaching must be sub-
mitted to the Director of Professional Laboratory Experiences dur-
ing the first week of the quarter preceding student teaching. While
student teaching, the student is required to adhere to established
policies and procedures of the cooperating school system in addition
to those policies and procedures established by the college and the
School of Education.
A student is admitted to student teaching at the time assignment
is made. While student preferences and other personal cir-
cumstances are considered, the School of Education reserves the
right to exercise its discretion in placement. The student will re-

Program for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing
(Registered Nurses)
The nursing courses for this degree program will not be offered
again. Students must complete all general education degree re-
quirements, built upon the Associate in Science in Nursing degree,
are listed in the 1978-79 edition of the Armstrong State College
Bulletin.
DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
Professor William L. Megathlin, Head; Professor Magnus; Assis-
tant Professors Menzel and Persons.
Armstrong State College provides professional education to pre-
pare students for careers in many areas in the administration of
criminal justice. A strong liberal arts emphasis has been developed
within the criminal justice program, enabling the student to pre-
pare for new and demanding requirements in his profession.
Specific courses in criminal justice are open to all students as elec-
tives. Students who plan to follow careers in the behavioral sci-
ences, law, journalism, or education may find courses in the crimi-
nal justice area both interesting and useful. Non-majors should
consult with their faculty advisors before electing these courses.
Two programs of study are available to the student who wishes to
study in the criminal justice area — a two year program leading to
the degree of Associate in Science in Criminal Justice with a con-
centration in corrections or in law enforcement and a four-year
program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Criminal
Justice. Both of these programs have been accredited by the
Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Each student should work
closely with assigned departmental advisor in planning a program
for either of the two degrees.
Departmental Objectives
As part of the total academic community, the Department of
Criminal Justice shares the general philosophy and objectives
which appear elsewhere in this catalog. In addition, some specific
teaching, research, service and faculty development objectives im-
pact upon the provision of effective professionals for the criminal
justice system.
Teaching. The primary function of this depeartment is to impart
relevant knowledge for the student's consideration and under-
standing. In addition, the faculty must assist the student in the
utilization of his/her resources to acquire and apply knowledge
beyond the confines of a particular course. The objectives of our
210
teaching are: to prepare students for further education and for
careers in the criminal justice system, and to maximize the poten-
tial of students to be positive influences in criminal justice and
society.
Research. Although of relatively minor importance at an institu-
tion such as Armstrong, research has the potential to make a sig-
nificant impact on improvement of local agencies in the criminal
justice system. Our objective is to foster faculty and student re-
search which may add to the field of knowledge and which may
assist criminal justice agencies in their efforts to become mere ef-
fective.
Service. For a professional, career-oriented program such as
ours, contacts with the community and the many criminal justice
agencies are essential. The objectives of these contacts are: to im-
prove the teaching component of the program; to foster coordina-
tion and cooperation among the agencies and with the public; and
to foster improvements in the criminal justice system.
Faculty development. To the extent that our faculty is competent,
other objectives and goals are possible. Our objective in faculty
development is to seek and utilize all possible opportunities to de-
velop each faculty member to the fullest extent of his/her
capabiilities. An effective department is a direct outgrowth of effec-
tive faculty members.

health services in private dental offices, civil service positions, in-
dustry, and in various public health fields. They practice under the
supervision of a dentist and must pass a state board examination
for licensure. The curriculum is fully approved by the Commission
on Accreditation of Dental and Dental Auxiliary Educational Pro-
grams of The American Dental Association.
A passing grade in all related natural science courses in a pre-
requisite to the 200 level Dental Hygiene courses; therefore,
Chemistry 201, Zoology 208-209, and Biology 210 must be satisfac-
torily completed before the student will be admitted into second-
year status in the Dental Hygiene Program.
The student must earn a "C" or better in each Dental Hygiene
course before he or she will be allowed to register for subsequent
dental hygiene courses; therefore, a grade of "C" or better in the
previous course(s) is a prerequisite for each dental hygiene course
for which the student registers after the first quarter of the

PROGRAM IN RESPIRATORY THERAPY
FACULTY: Assistant Professor Ross L. Bowers, Director; Teach-
ing Associate Steven Covington, Clinical Coordinator.
For the two-year (seven consecutive quarters) program leading
to the Associate in Science degree in Respiratory Therapy, the stu-
dent must complete a curriculum of 56 quarter hours in academic
courses and 60 quarter hours in professional Respiratory Therapy
courses. The purpose of this program is to provide highly trained
personnel for a rapidly growing and important health profession.
The A.S. degree from an accredited Respiratory Therapy program
225
qualifies the graduate for the Registry credentialing process. The
Registry is the highest professional credential in the field of
respiratory therapy. The credentialing process is a two-step na-
tionally administered examination. Step 1 is a comprehensive writ-
ten examination. To qualify for step 2 the candidate must pass step
1. Step 2 is a clinical simulation examination which tests the candi-
date's ability to apply knowledge in clinical situations. The candi-
date who passes step 2 earns the credential of Registered Respira-
tory Therapist. It will take at least one year following graduation to
complete the credentialing process.
PROGRESSION REQUIREMENTS
For progression through the A.S. Respiratory Therapy Program
the following conditions must be maintained:
1. A grade of "C" or better must be earned in EACH core cur-
riculum (academic) course. No more than one repeat grade per
course will be acceptable.
2. A grade of "C" or better in each Respiratory Therapy course.
No more than one Respiratory Therapy course may be re-
peated and a "C" or better must be earned at that time to
remain in the program.
3. A Respiratory Therapy course in which the student makes a D
or F must be repeated at its next offering. Because of cur-
riculum structure, each Respiratory Therapy course is offered
only one time per year. The student who must repeat a Re-
spiratory Therapy course will be out of the program for three
quarters until the course can be repeated.
4. If a student fails to make a "C" or better in any course that is
repeated, this will be grounds for dismissal from the Respira-
tory Therapy Program.
5. An overall GPA of 2.0 (C) or better is required to graduate from
the Respiratory Therapy Program.
Attendance Regulations
A student must matriculate each successive quarter to remain in
the program. If the student needs to be away from school for a
quarter the student must seek formal approval from the Program
Director for such an absence. If approval is not sought and granted,
the student will be dropped from active status and must reapply for
admission to the Respiratory Therapy major before continuing in
the program. The student who applies for readmission must meet
the existing requirements of the program.
COURSES AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION
The Program Director's approval is required if credits for pre-
professional or major area courses taken at another school are to be
accepted for the Respiratory Therapy degree.

Appendix
Policy
Regents' Policy Testing Program
(As Amended, November 13-14, 1979)
An examination to assess the competency level in reading and
writing of all students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs
in University System institutions shall be administered. The fol-
lowing statement shall be the policy of the Board of Regents of the
University System of Georgia on this examination.
Each institution of the University System of Georgia shall as-
sure the other institutions, and the System as a whole, that stu-
dents obtaining a degree from that institution possess literacy
competence, that is, certain minimum skills of reading and writ-
ing.
The Regent's Testing Program has been developed to help in
the attainment of this goal. The objectives of the Testing Prog-
ram are: (1) to provide Systemwide information on the status of
student competence in the areas of reading and writing; and (2) to
provide a uniform means of identifying those students who fail to
attain the minimum levels of competence in the areas of reading
and writing.
Passing the Regents' Test is defined as having passed all com-
ponents of the Test by scoring above the cutoff score specified for
each component. The test may be administered either in its en-
tirety or as one or more components depending on the needs of
the students. If one component of the Test is passed, that compo-
nent need not be retaken; this provision is retroactive to all stu-
dents who have taken the Test in any form since the inception of
the program.
The intent of this policy is that passing the Regents' Test occur
before the end of the student's sophomore year, that is, before the
completion of 105 hours of degree credit. Students who fail the
test must retake and pass the Test. Each institution shall provide
an appropriate program of remediation and shall require defi-
cient students to participate in that program prior to retaking
the test.
A student holding a baccaluareate or higher degree from a re-
gionally accredited institution of higher education will not be re-
quired to complete the Regents' Test in order to receive a degree
from a University System institution.
In order to implement effectively the goals of the Testing Prog-
ram:
1. Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs shall
pass the Regents' Test as a requirement for graduation. Stu-
dents, including transfer students and/or readmitted studens,
may take the Test after they have completed the required
basic core English courses. They may be required to take the
Test in the quarter after they have earned 45 hours of degree
credit if the Test has not been passed previously. Institutions,
however, may not delay initial testing beyond the student's
having earned the 60th hour of degree credit.
247
2. All students who have taken and have not passed the Regents'
Test during the quarter in which they will have earned 75
hours of degree credit shall take the appropriate nondegree
credit course or courses in remedial reading and or remedial
writing in each quarter of attendance until they have passed
all components of the Test.
3. Having passed the Regents' Test shall not be a condition of
transfer into an institution. All transferring students from
within the System shall be subject to all provisions of this
policy. Students from institutions outside the System who
transfer into a System institution with 60 or more degree cre-
dit hours shall take the Test during the initial quarter of en-
rollment and in subsequent quarters shall be subject to all
provisions of this policy.
4. Students whose mother tongue is other than English may be
exempted from taking the Regents' Test by the institution
provided appropriate local procedures are employed to certify
the literacy competence of those students earning a degree.
5. For extraordinary stituations, each institution shall develop
special procedures for certifying the literacy competence of
students. A written description of those procedures shall be
submitted to the Chancellor for approval. A record of the ac-
tion shall be reported by the Chancellor to the Education
Committee of the Board of Regents. Such procedures shall
include provision for remediation if needed and formal exami-
nation prior to certifying competency. Such examination shall
equal or exceed the standards of the Regents' Testing Prog-
ram.
6. A student may request a formal review of his/her failure on the
essay component of the Regents' Test if that student's essay
received at least one passing score among the three scores
awarded and if the student has successfully completed the
courses in English composition required by the local institu-
tion. This review will be conducted in accordance with Board
approved procedures.
7. These revised procedures shall be followed by all students ef-
fective January 1, 1980.
8. Remedial work as required under the above policy shall be in
keeping with regulations in satisfaction of federal and state
student financial assistance and such other eligibility prog-
rams.
9. These regulations shall not prohibit institutions from increas-
ing requirements affecting the Regents' Testing Program,
provided such increased requirements are authorized by the
Chancellor, and provided further that such requirements are
published in the official catalog of the institution prior to im-
plementation. Such additional requirements shall in no way
affect the transfer students from one institution to another or
the readmission of students to University System institutions.

History and Purpose
History
The development of graduate education at Armstrong State Col-
lege is linked to a history of graduate course offerings in Savannah
which has involved several institutions of the University System of
Georgia. Prior to 1968, only off-campus extension courses from the
University of Georgia and other institutions were offered in
Savannah. In the summer of 1968, Savannah State College began
offering courses in residence for their new master's degree in
elementary education. This program was accredited by the South-
ern Association of Colleges and Schools and was approved by the
Georgia State Board of Education.
In the Fall of 1971, Armstrong State College and Savannah State
College joined efforts to offer a joint program of graduate work. The
combined faculties, library holdings, and facilities of the Colleges
made possible the expansion of the graduate program to include a
Master of Business Administration Degree Program; to add secon-
dary options in the Master of Education degree program; and to
supersede most of the off campus courses offered in Savannah by
other institutions. This Joint Graduate Studies Program of Savan-
nah State College and Armstrong State College was fully accre-
dited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, with its
degree programs in education approved by the Georgia State De-
partment of Education. In 1975, the Medical College of Georgia
entered into an agreement with Armstrong State College to offer a
Master of Science Degree in Nursing in Savannah by locating some
of the Medical College staff and courses at Armstrong and by utiliz-
ing Armstrong's resources and the support courses offered by
Armstrong and Savannah State Colleges. This degree, which is con-
ferred by the Medical College, is accredited by the National League
of Nursing as well as the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools.
Effective Fall, 1979, the Joint Graduate Studies Program was
terminated by action of the Board of Regents, and Armstrong was
authorized to continue graduate offerings with a significant mod-
ification. All business administration programs, courses, and fa-
culty were transferred to Savannah State College, and simultane-
ously, all teacher education programs, courses, and faculty were
transferred to Armstrong State College. Within the context of this
modification, Armstrong offers graduate programs that are dedi-
cated to teaching, service, and research.
Purpose
The Graduate Program of Armstrong State College is dedicated
to service through educational programs, community involvement,
and to faculty and student research, scholarship and creativity. By
offering advanced preparation to those who serve in the schools
and in other professional activities, the program contributes to the
development of professional people, and through them, to the well
being of those whom these professionals serve. The philosophy of
the Graduate Program affirms the dignity and worth of individuals
and the realization that professional men and women must be pro-
ductive, articulate, and pro-active.
Fees, Refunds, &
Financial Assistance
ALL FEES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT THE END OF ANY
QUARTER.
Application Fee
An application fee of $10.00 is paid by each graduate student at
the time of initial application for admission. This fee is not required
of graduates from either Armstrong State College or Savannah
State College. The acceptance of the application fee does not consti-
tute acceptance of the student into the graduate program. This fee,
which is paid at Armstrong State College, is not refundable.
Matriculation Fee
The matriculation fee for part-time students is $15.00 per quarter
hour; thus, the matriculation fee for one five (5) hour course is
$75.00. Students carrying 12 credit hours or more will pay $178.00.
Out-of-State Tuition
Non-residents of Georgia carrying 12 credit hours or more must
pay a fee of $318.00 per quarter in addition to all regular fees. Stu-
dents carrying less than 12 credit hours in a quarter who are not
legal residents of the State of Georgia will pay at the rate of $27.00
per quarter hour for out-of-state tuition, in addition to matricula-
tion fees. For residency requirements as established by the Board
of Regents, see the Bulletin and General Catalogue of Armstrong
State College.
Student Activity Fee
All students enrolled for six quarter hours or more must pay an
Activity Fee of $15.00 per quarter.
Athletic Fee
All students must pay an Athletic Fee of $10.00 per quarter.
Health/Services Fee
All students must pay this fee of $2.50 per quarter.
Late Registration Fee
A late registration fee of $4.00 will be charged to students regis-
tering on the date listed in the catalogue as the date on which
classes begin. A fee of $5.00 will be charged for registration com-
pleted on the date listed in the catalogue as the "last day to register
for credit."
Graduation Fee
Each candidate for graduation must pay a graduation fee of
$20.00 four months prior to his or her graduation. For further in-
formation, inquire at the Registrar's Office.
Refunds
Refund of the matriculation fee and of non-resident tuition will
be made only upon written application for withdrawal from school.
No refunds are made for simply dropping a course. Privilege fees
are not refundable. The College follows the refund policy of the
Board of Regents as stated below:
Students who formally withdraw on the date of scheduled
registration or during one week following the scheduled reg-
istration date are entitled to a refund of 80% of the fees paid
for that quarter. Students who formally withdraw during the
period between one and two weeks after the scheduled regis-
tration date are entitled to a refund of 60% of the fees paid for
that quarter. Students who formally withdraw between two
and three weeks after the scheduled registration dates are
entitled to a refund of 40% of the fees paid for that quarter.
Students who formally withdraw during the period between
three and four weeks after the scheduled registration date are
entitled to a refund of 20% of the fees paid for that quarter.
Students who withdraw after a period of four weeks has
elapsed from the scheduled registration date will be entitled to
no refund of any part of the fees paid for that quarter.
Financial Assistance
Students are invited to contact the Office of Financial Aids at the
College for information on federal and state programs of financial
assistance to college students.
Veterans Benefits
Information of interest to veterans can be obtained by writing or
calling the Office of Veterans Affairs at Armstrong State College.
Once accepted into the graduate program, a veteran should con-
tact the Veterans' Office for processing instructions. Since proces-
sing time varies, a first quarter student should expect a four to six
week delay in receiving the first benefit check. First quarter stu-
dent veterans should consider this delay when making financial
arrangements to attend school.
For purposes of G.I. Bill benefits, ten (10) quarter hours is consi-
dered to be a full load; a load of five (5) graduate quarter hours
entitles the graduate student to half-time benefits.

Admission to Graduate
Study
Graduate course work provides an opportunity for continuing
professional growth and competency, for expanding professional
and cultural backgrounds, and for extending knowledge and un-
derstanding in an area of specialty. Qualified students may take
advantage of these educational opportunities without necessarily
seeking a degree, but admission to one of the graduate degree pro-
grams is a serious academic venture. Therefore, prospective stu-
dents are expected to show evidence of high academic achievement
and potential. Students who enroll as degree-seeking students
must meet more rigorous admission standards than those students
who do not seek a master's degree.
Requirements
Applicants desiring admission on a degree-seeking status must
present satisfactory undergraduate academic records and satisfac-
tory scores on appropriate admissions examinations. Some of the
graduate degree programs have specialized test requirements,
specified undergraduate course requirements, or other require-
ments for degree-seeking students. Refer to the departmental sec-
tions for specific information on these requirements.
General requirements for degree-seeking students include the fol-
lowing: applicants for all M.Ed, programs must provide satisfac-
tory scores on either the Aptitude Test of the Graduate Record
Examination (GRE) or the Common Examination of the National
Teacher Examination (NTE). Satisfactory undergraduate grades
must be presented by all degree-seeking students.
Admission to some programs may require satisfactory scores on
either the appropriate area examination of the NTE or the appro-
priate advanced test of the GRE. For details of such requirements,
consult the appropriate departmental entry in the catalogue or the
Department Head.
Applications for the above examinations are usually available at
the College and will be given to students who come to the College to
obtain them. Students who wish to write for an application form or
to submit an application for these examinations should contact:
Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. Stu-
dents should request that their test scores be sent to the Dean of
Education, Armstrong State College, Savannah, Georgia, 31406.
11
Categories of Admission
Regular Admission
(a degree status classification)
Definition
Regular Admission means that a student has met all admission
requirements and is admitted to a degree program with full
graduate status.
Requirements
A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from an
accredited college, who has completed all of the prerequisites for his
planned graduate field of study, and who meets the other require-
ments of the Graduate Program may be admitted on Regular Ad-
mission status. These requirements include minimum under-
graduate grade-point averages in combination with certain
minimum test scores. For M.Ed, programs, a minimum G.P.A. of 2.5
is required and a minimum test score of 550 on the NTE Commons
examination or 800 on the GRE Aptitude examination.
For area test scores required by any department, see the appro-
priate departmental entry. Degree programs providing teacher cer-
tification have other admission requirements, including: (1) a rec-
ommendation from the school in which a student has been
employed as a teacher or has completed a student internship, and
(2) eligibility for fourth level certification in the field of study. (For
further information on admission to certification programs, consult
the Office of the Dean of Education.)
Provisional Admission
(a degree status classification)
Definition
Provisional Admission means that a student has applied for ad-
mission to a degree program and has some condition affecting his
status such as low grades or test scores. The student is admitted to
a degree program but must meet certain conditions before achiev-
ing full graduate status (i.e., Regular Admission).
Requirements
For Provisional Admission, a student must hold a baccalaureate
degree and meet the other admission requirements of the Graduate
Program. These requirements include minimum undergraduate
grade point averages in combination with certain minimum test
scores.
For the M.Ed, programs, students who fail to meet Regular Ad-
mission score requirements may be granted Provisional Admission
if the combinations of their G.P.A. and test scores conform to the
following formulas:
12
GPA x 100 x NTE Common = 750 or more.
GPA x 100 x GRE Aptitude = 1000 or more.
In no case, however, may the G.P.A. be less than 2.2, the NTE less
than 450, or the GRE less than 700.
For area test scores required by any department, see the appro-
priate departmental entry.
Additional Stipulations for Provisional Admission
As with Regular Admission, recommendation forms and other
aspects of the Admissions Procedures must be adhered to.
Provisionally admitted students may be required to remove any
specific deficiencies that are ascertained by taking undergraduate
supporting courses before these students are allowed to attempt
graduate courses within the program to which they have been ad-
mitted. M.Ed, students may remain admitted on a provisional basis
until they have attempted 15 hours of approved graduate work. If
they satisfactorily complete the initial, approved 15 hours of
graduate work with no grade less than a "B" — of which 10 hours
must be in the professional sequence — and submit the appropriate
Area test score, if required, these students may submit a written
request, with advisor's endorsement, to move into Regular status.
Upon satisfying the Area test score, if required, and upon com-
pleting 25 hours of approved course work with a "B" average or
better, of which 15 hours must be in the major field of study, any
provisionally admitted student will be eligible for Regular status. If
the student does not have a "B" average or better upon completing
these 25 hours of course work, he or she will be dropped as a degree-
seeking student and prohibited from enrolling in further graduate
courses.
Post Baccalaureate and Post Graduate Admission
(Nondegree status)
Post Baccalaureate or Post Graduate admission is provided for
those students who may not wish to pursue a graduate degree,
including teachers whose main purpose is to obtain credits neces-
sary for teacher certification and/or for students who may desire to
enter a degree program but who have missing data. Requirements
for Post Baccalaureate Admission include documentary evidence
of a baccalaureate degree and submission of necessary application
papers. The student may also have to meet specific prerequisites to
enroll in courses in certain departments. Post Graduate Admission
requirements are the same except that a graduate degree is re-
quired.
No more than fifteen (15) hours earned while enrolled as a Post
Graduate or Post Baccalaureate student may be applied toward a
M.Ed, degree.
A student admitted on non-degree status who wishes to be ad-
vanced to a degree status category of admission bears the responsi-
bility for:
13
1. Meeting all requirements for degree status which are in effect
at the time the student submits the required data and docu-
ments for degree status.
2. Notifying the Dean in writing of the intent and desire to ad-
vance to degree status.
Action by the Dean to advance a non-degree student to a degree
status category is contingent on the student meeting the above
responsibilities, and the student is cautioned to maintain a careful
check on his or her status.
Transient Student
Transient students must arrange to have written authorization
sent to the Dean from their dean, department head, or registrar at
the graduate school in which they are enrolled in order to be ac-
cepted as a transient student and to register in the Graduate Prog-
ram. They must also submit the application for admission form and
the $10 fee as described in the Admission Procedures. If they wish
to become degree-seeking students, they must request appropriate
admission in writing and must submit the necessary documents.
Readmissions
Any student in the Graduate Program who did not matriculate
(i.e., register) during the quarter immediately preceding the quar-
ter in which he next intends to matriculate must process a readmis-
sion form with the Registrar's Office. The only students exempted
from this requirement are those students who are initially admit-
ted for graduate study in the quarter immediately preceding the
quarter of their first matriculation. For further information, in-
quire at the Registrar's office.
Admission Procedures
All admissions documents should be sent to The Office of the
Dean of Education for processing; the application for admission,
$10 fee, and transcripts must reach the office 20 days prior to regis-
tration.
The following materials and procedures are part of the require-
ments for admission to the Graduate Program.
1. The application-for-admission form, available in the Office of
the Dean of Education, must be completed and submitted. Re-
quired of all applicants 20 days prior to registration.
2. Two (2) official transcripts showing all college credits earned
for the undergraduate degree should be sent directly from the
college which awarded the degree to the Dean's Office. Re-
quired of all applicats except transient students who may sub-
mit letter of authorization from their graduate school (20 days
prior to registration).
14
3. Test scores, as appropriate and as required for the major, must
be submitted. Required of degree-seeking students only.
4. Completed recommendation forms (2) must be submitted;
these forms are available in the Education Office. For appli-
cants entering teacher certification programs, at least one (1)
recommendation must be from supervisory personnel who ob-
served the student in a teaching internship or as an employed
teacher. These recommendations are required of degree-
seeking students only.
5. A ten dollar ($10) application fee is required of all students,
except graduates of Savannah State College and Armstrong
State College.
All materials and documents should be submitted as soon as pos-
sible, but items as noted above must arrive at least twenty (20) days
prior to the registration date of the quarter a student enrolls. Ac-
tion can be taken on applications for admission only after essential
materials have been received.
ADMISSION TO GRADUATE STUDY DOES NOT IMPLY
AUTOMATIC ACCEPTANCE OF THE STUDENT AS A CANDI-
DATE FOR ANY MASTER'S DEGREE. SEE SECTION ON
CANDIDACY FOR DEGREE.
15
Academic Regulations
Student Responsibility
The student is charged with the responsibility for taking the in-
itiative in meeting all academic requirements and in maintaining a
careful check on his or her progress toward earning a degree. The
student is responsible for discharging his or her obligations to the
business office and the library and for adhering to the rules and
regulations appertaining to graduate students in particular and to
all students enrolled in a unit of the University System of Georgia.
Graduate student academic regulations are set forth in this bulle-
tin; for information regarding general regulations of students
using the property and facilities of Armstrong State College, refer
to the general bulletin and student publication of the College. It is
the student's responsibility to abide by catalogue requirements. A
student's claim that he or she has been granted an exception to
these requirements must be documented before the merits of the
claim can be evaluated. Students should note carefully the regila-
tions in this chapter of the catalogue as well as in the admissions
chapter.
Academic Advisement
Upon admission to graduate study, each student will be referred
to a departmental office for adviser assignment. Consultation with
the assigned adviser is required prior to registration. Each student
must process appropriate advisement papers which are available
from his or her assigned adviser and which provide the adviser
clearance required for registration.
Transient students report to the Office of the Dean of Education
for advisement and adviser clearance.
Post Baccalaureate and Post Graduate students obtain adviser
clearance by processing the non-degree advisement form with their
assigned advisers. During the quarter in which a Post Bac-
calaureate student achieves degree-seeking status, he or she must
process the Program of Study form.
Degree-seeking students, both Regular and Provisional Admis-
sions students, must process the Program of Study form with their
assigned adviser no later than the end of their first quarter of en-
rollment. A temporary adviser clearance statement may be pro-
vided by the adviser which will be valid only for the student's initial
registration. This temporary clearance should be processed on
non-degree advisement form, with appropriate notations made to
indicate that it is temporary.
The Program of Study shows the essential courses the student
will take in his or her degree program, transfer courses that might
apply to the degree, and prerequisite courses or other prerequi-
sites. The Program of Study must be followed by the student in
fulfilling degree requirements. However, the student can take
16
courses additional to those on his Program of Study and may enroll
in the courses on the Program of Study during quarters other than
those which might be shown on his Program of Study form.
Moreover, the student may officially modify his Program of Study
with the concurrence of his adviser and department head.
Students should note that any departure from the catalogue re-
quirements for a degree must be approved by the appropriate dean.
Foreign Student Advisement
Specialized advisement is available for foreign students from the
Graduate Foreign Student Adviser, Mr. Erich Stocker, located in
Room 3, Administration Building at Armstrong State College. The
mailing adress is Armstrong State College, Savannah, Georgia
31406.
Registration
Before a student may register for graduate courses he must be
formally admitted as a graduate student (although 500 and 600
level courses may be taken by undergraduate students upon com-
plying with requirements and procedures stipulated by and availa-
ble in the Dean's Office). If his circumstances require it, he must be
readmitted (see section on Admissions, paragraph on Readmis-
sions). In order to register, a student will be required to show at
registration his admission confirmation and his advisor clearance
forms.
Transfer of Graduate Credits
A maximum of thirty (30) hours of credit may be transferred from
another institution, provided:
1. that each course equates with a course in the curriculum of the
Graduate Program or is an acceptable elective.
2. that the credit was earned in an accredited graduate program.
3. that a grade of B or better was earned in each course.
4. that the credit was earned no more than six years prior to
completion of all degree requirements.
5. that no more than fifty percent of the required credits shall be
transferred for use towards a master's degree (i.e., no more
than 50% of either the required professional education credits
or other required credits in M.Ed, programs).
For additional information on the amount of credit transferable
for a particular degree program, refer to the appropriate de-
partmental entry.
Procedures for Processing Transfer Credits
Requests by students to receive transfer graduate credit must be
supported by two (2) copies of the graduate transcript showing the
17
credits requested. The formal and final request for receiving trans-
fer credit is part of the Application for Candidacy which the student
must process upon the completion of 25 hours of graduate work.
This application is obtained in the Education Office. The two (2)
graduate transcripts should be sent to the Education Office.
Advisement on transfer of credit is routinely provided on the
Program of Study form which every degree-seeking student must
complete with his adviser in his first quarter of enrollment. Formal
approval of transfer credits is granted via the student's Application
for Candidacy which requires approval by the student's adviser and
Department Head and by the appropriate dean.
Prospective students may write to the Department Coordinator
in their area of study to obtain advisement on transfer of credit.
Graduate Courses
Courses numbered 500 to 699 are open to both undergraduate and
graduate students. In such courses, the quantity and quality of
work required of the graduate students will be on the same level as
that required in those courses offered exclusively for graduates.
Courses numbered 700 and above will be open only to graduate
students. Candidates for master's degrees must take at least fifty
percent of their courses at the 700 level.
Graduate Class Regulations and Schedules
Graduate classes are conducted in conformity with the general
academic policies of the Board of Regents and of the Graduate
Program and the regulations of the College. Specific class require-
ments, including attendance requirements and requirements for
grades are set by the instructor for each class. Also, see Honor Code
in this chapter of the catalogue.
The College reserves the right to cancel classes and to adjust class
schedules.
Grades and Grade Point Averages
In accordance with the policies of the Board of Regents, a 4.0
grade point system is used. The only grades approved by the Board
of Regents for computing the grade point averages of students are:
A — 4,B — 3, C — 2, D — 1,F — 0, and WF (withdrew failing) — 0. The
Board of Regents has also approved for uses other than for comput-
ing grade point averages, the following symbols: I — incomplete; W
— withdrew without penalty; V — audit; K — credit for a course by
examination; and S — satisfactory and U — unsatisfactory which
are applicable only to theses, practicums, internships, and profi-
ciency requirements.
18
In the Graduate Program, grades assigned are A, B, C, D, F,
(failure), I (incomplete), W (withdrew with no penalty), and WF
(withdrew failing). The grade of W does not enter into computing a
student's grade point average.
Stipulations applicable to symbols used in the Graduate Program
include:
I — incomplete. May be awarded by an instructor, who will also
stipulate the conditions for its removal. A grade of I must be re-
moved by completing the course by mid-term of the following quar-
ter or it becomes an automatic F.
W — withdrawal without penalty. May be awarded by an instruc-
tor up to the mid-quarter period in a course. Regents' policy stipu-
lates that "Withdrawals without penalty will not be permitted after
the mid-point of the total grading period (including final examina-
tions) except in cases of hardship as determined by the appropriate
official of the respective institution." Withdrawals after mid term
require approval of the Dean.
WF — withdrew failing. May be awarded by an instructor any-
time that a student withdraws from a course after the drop/add
period; mandatory after midquarter except for hardship cases as
stipulated above for grades of W.
V — audit. Use of this symbol is subject to the discretion of the
individual graduate departments, and the departments may re-
quire that a student receive the permission of the instructor to
audit a course prior to registering for the course. Moreover, an
auditing student must pay the usual fees, must register for the
course, and may not transfer from audit to credit status (or vice
versa).
S and U — satisfactory and unsatisfactory; see above. Specific
courses receiving these grades are identified in departmental
course listings. Comprehensive examinations are given these
grades also.
K — credit by examination. Use of this symbol is subject to the
discretion of the individual graduate departments.
Students expecting to receive grades of V or K must insure that
they are enrolled in an appropriate course or activity for which V or
K grades are awarded by the appropriate department. If this
catalogue does not show in the departmental entries that the given
departments have authorized the use of V or K, then a student
expecting to receive V in a course should obtain written verification
from the appropriate instructor prior to registrating for the course
that V will be awarded.
Grade point averages are calculated on all graduate work attempt-
ed, and no credits with a grade below C may apply toward a degree.
Academic Probation and Standing
Any student who falls below a 3.0 (B) average shall be on
academic probation.
19
Any student who is admitted to Provisional Admission status and
who does not achieve a 3.0 average or better upon completing 25
hours shall be dropped as a degree student, be placed on non-degree
status, and be prohibited from enrolling in further graduate
courses. Any Regular Admission student who has less than a 3.0
average after completing 25 or more hours shall be placed on "regu-
lar admission — probation status" and shall be required to achieve
grades of B or better in all courses in order to maintain this status
and must achieve a 3.0 average in order to return to Regular Ad-
mission status. Any student on "regular admission — probation
status" who earns less than a B in any course or who accumulates
75 hours and remains on this status shall be dropped as a degree
student shall be placed on non-degree status, and be prohibited
from enrolling in further graduate courses.
Course Load Limitation
A full-time graduate student is expected to carry no more than
fifteen (15) hours per quarter. The course load for employed stu-
dents should be appropriately reduced in consultation with their
advisers. Students on academic probation or on Provisional Admis-
sions status should carefully plan their course loads in consultation
with their advisers.
Withdrawal, Dropping Courses, and Adding
Courses
Withdrawal is, in the technical sense, dropping all courses and
processing a formal withdrawal from the College. A student may
withdraw from school (or drop a single course) at any time during
the quarter. Only by formally withdrawing, however can a student
become eligible for the refund of fees as explained in the section on
fees. The student bears the responsibility of contacting the Regis-
trar's Office to effect a withdrawal and of contacting his profes-
sors) to determine what grade(s) he will receive (W or WF).
Dropping a course should be formalized through the Registrar's
Office which will process a drop/add slip. If a student is taking only
one course, the drop is, technically, a withdrawal and should be
treated as such. The student is responsible for contacting his in-
structor concerning the grade he will receive (W, glf).
Adding a course may be accomplished through the Registrar's
Office which will process a drop/add slip. Courses may be added only
during the late registration days at the beginning of the quarter
and not at any other time during the quarter. The student must pay
the appropriate fee for the additional course, unless a course equiv-
alent in credit hours is being dropped simultaneously.
20
Administrative Withdrawals
The College reserves the right to effect the withdrawal of any
student at any time during his course of studies if he does not meet
his financial obligation or the required standards of scholarship, or
if he fails in any way to meet the standards of the Graduate Pro-
gram.
CATES Courses
Armstrong State College participates in the Coastal Area
Teacher Education Service, a consortium of area public school sys-
tems and institutions of the University System of Georgia offering
graduate and undergraduate courses in teacher education.
A student who wishes to apply CATES course credit to his degree
program must obtain approval from his adviser to take a course for
degree credit prior to taking the course. Without this prior ap-
proval, the course is subject to being treated as a transfer course, in
which case, the Transfer of Graduate Credit policies and proce-
dures described in this Bulletin will be followed.
Honor Code
The Honor Code at Armstrong State College is dedicated to the
proposition that the protection of the grading system is in the in-
terest of the student community. The Student Code is an institu-
tional means to assure that the student community shall have
primary disposition of infractions of the Honor Code and that stu-
dents accused of such infractions shall enjoy these procedural
guarantees traditionally considered essential to a fair and impar-
tial hearing, the foremost of which is the presumption of innocence
until guilt be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
I. Responsibilities of Students:
All students must agree to abide by the rules of the Honor
Code. A student shall not be accepted at Armstrong State
College unless he signs the following statement at the time of
his first registration: "I have read the Honor Code at
Armstrong State College. I understand the Code and agree
that, as a student at Armstrong, I must comply with these
requirements." This statement shall be printed on the appli-
cation for admission to the college and must be signed by the
student. The Honor Code shall be printed in the official bulle-
tin and the Student Handbook.
It will be the responsibility of the Student Court or its de-
signated representative to conduct an orientation program
at the beginning of each quarter for all newly entering stu-
dents to explain fully the Honor Code and to allow full discus-
sion of its requirements.
21
Any student desiring assistance with any matter related to
the Honor Code is invited to seek assistance in the Office of
Student Affairs.
II. Violations of the Honor Code:
Violations of the Honor Code may be of two kinds: (a) gen-
eral and (b) those related to the peculiarities of specific
course-related problems and to the understanding of indi-
vidual instructors. Any instructor whose conception of cheat-
ing would tend to enlarge or contract the general regulations
of cheating must explicitly notify the affected students of the
qualifications to the general regulations which he wishes to
stipulate. The following will be considered general violations
of the Honor Code.
1. Giving or receiving any unauthorized help on any assign-
ment, test or paper. The meaning of "unauthorized help"
shall be made clear by the instructor of each class.
2. Stealing when related to cheating.
3. Plagiarizing.
4. Giving perjured testimony before the Student Court.
5. Suborning, attempting to suborn, or intimidating witnes-
ses.
6. Failing to report a suspected violation of the Honor Code.
III. Reporting Violations of the Honor Code:
Anyone wishing to report a violation may come to the Of-
fice of Student Affairs for assistance in contacting members
of the Student Court.
A. Self-reporting: A student who has broken the Honor Code
should report himself to a member of the Student Court.
B. Anyone (faculty member or student) who is aware of a
violation of the Honor Code must report the matter. This
may be done in one of two ways:
1. He may tell the person thought to be guilty to report
himself to a member of the Student Court no later than
the end of the next school day. After this designated
time, the person who is aware of the violation must
inform a member of the Student Court so that the Stu-
dent Court may contact the accused person if he has
not already reportd himself.
2. He may report the suspected violation directly to a
member of the Student Court without informing the
accused.
IV. The procedural rights of the student accused of violations of
the Honor Code:
The essence of the procedural rights of an accused is the
right to a fair and impartial hearing and the right to be pre-
sumed innocent until proven giilty. Specific rights are as fol-
lows:
1. The accused will be notified in writing by the Student
Court or its designated representative of the nature and
details of the offense with which he is charged along with
the names of the accusers and the principal witnesses to
22
be brought against him. This notification shall occur no
less than three days prior to the date of the hearing.
2. The accused has the right to counsel of his own choosing.
Such counsel will not participate directly in the proceed-
ings except to advise his client. It is expected that such
counsel will be drawn from the college community.
3. The accused and the person bringing the charges shall be
afforded an opportunity to present witnesses and
documentary or other evidence. The accused and any in-
dividual bringing the charges shall have the right to cross
examine all witnesses and may, where the witnesses can-
not appear because of illness or other cause acceptable to
the Court, present the sworn statement of the witnesses.
The Court shall not be bound by formal rules governing
the presentation of evidence, and it may consider any evi-
dence presented which is of probative value in the case.
4. The accused may not be made to bear witness against
himself. The Court may not take the refusal of the accused
to testify as evidence of guilt, but this proviso does not give
the accused immunity from a hearing or from recommen-
dations reached in a hearing simply because the accused
does not testify.
5. The accused shall have access to a complete audiotape of
the hearing and to the record prepared by the secretary.
6. The substantive facts of a case may be re-opened for con-
sideration upon initiation of the accused acting through
normal appeal channels. The accused shall not be put in
double jeopardy.
7. All witnesses will be sequestered from the hearing room
during the course of a hearing. Witnesses may not discuss
a pending case.
8. By prior agreement, the accused will be allowed such ob-
servers of the hearing as may be commensurate with the
space available. Otherwise, in the interests of the right of
privacy of the accused, hearings will be private, except
that the College may also have observers additional to the
advisors to the Student Court.
V. The Honor Code Commission, The Student Court Selection
Committee, The Student Court, and Advisers to the Court
A. Honor Code Commission
It shall be the purpose of the Honor Code Commission
to administer the student academic honor code. The
Commission will have the responsibility for revising and
updating the student academic honor code as needs arise.
The Honor Code Commission shall consist of the Presi-
dent, Vice-President, and Secretary of the Student Gov-
ernment Association and the current President and Sec-
retary of Student Court together with three faculty
members appointed by the President of the College.
B. Student Court Selection Committee
The Student Court Selection committee will select
members for the Student Court. The Student Court
23
Selection Committee will consist of two faculty members
from the Honor Code Commission, one of whom is the
chairperson of that commission, two students from the
Honor Code Commission, one of whom is a member of the
Student Court, two faculty members from the Conduct
Committee, one of whom is the chairperson of that com-
mittee, two students from the Conduct Committee, one of
whom is a member of the Student Court, and the Dean of
Students.
C. Student Court
1. The Student Court will be selected by the Student
Court Selection Committee and will be composed of
twelve students. Due consideration will be given to
equitable apportionment of court members on the
basis of academic class, race, and sex. Students on
academic probation may not serve. All appointments
will be issued and accepted in writing. Appointments
will be made during Spring Quarter in time for newly
elected members of the Court to assume their duties
by May 1. Appointments will be made as needed to
keep the Student Court staffed to do business on a
reasonably prompt basis. These appointments may
constitute permanent or temporary replacements as
the Student Court Selection Committee deems neces-
sary.
2. The Student Court will elect a President, Vice-
President, and a Secretary from its membership. The
President will preside at all meetings. The Vice-
President will assume the duties of the President if the
President is absent. The Secretary will maintain writ-
ten notes of all proceedings and audiotape records of
all testimony, and will maintain exhibit of evidence
which by their nature may reasonably be maintained
in the Court files. A quorum of the Court shall consist
of eight members. A two-thirds majority secret ballot
vote is required to reach a finding of guilty. All other
questions may be decided by a simple majority vote.
3. Constituency of the Student Court during the Summer
Quarter shall include all appointed members in atten-
dance, and others as shall be appointed to membership
by the Student Court Selection Committee.
4. Student Court Members shall examine their con-
sciences carefully to determine whether they can in
good conscience serve on a panel hearing a particular
case, and in the event that there is any doubt, what-
soever, such members shall excuse themselves from
duty on the specific panel in question.
B. Advisers to the Court
1. An adviser and an associate adviser to the Student
Court shall be appointed by the President of the Col-
lege.
24
2. Ordinarily the adviser will serve in that office for one
year only and usually will be succeeded in that position
by the associate adviser. Therefore, after the initial
appointments, only an associate adviser will ordinar-
ily be appointed each year. The succession of an as-
sociate to the adviser position is deemed to occur on
the last day of Spring Quarter. If, for any reason, the
adviser is unable to complete his term, the associate
adviser shall succeed to the office of adviser and
another associate adviser shall be appointed by the
above procedures. If, during the Summer Quarter,
neither adviser is on campus, a temporary adviser will
be appointed.
3. Duties of the adviser and the associate adviser: It shall
be the duty of the adviser to consult with the Court and
to offer advice to the President and members of the
Court on substantive and procedural questions. The
adviser, or the associate adviser in the event the ad-
viser is unable to attend, shall be present at all meet-
ings and hearings of the Court. The Adviser may not
vote nor may he participate directly in the conduct of
hearings before the Court except through the chair-
man, or acting chairman, of the Court. The adviser
should be governed at all times by the principle that a
hearing before the student court is primarily a matter
of student responsibility.
VI. Procedures and Penalties adopted by the Student Court:
The Student Court shall formulate its own bylaws govern-
ing internal organization and procedure. Such bylaws must
be consistent with the Honor Code.
A. Hearings shall be called by the Court President to be held
on a date not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10)
class days after notice to the accused as provided in Sec-
tion IV-2. Exceptions to these time requirements may be
granted.
B. Upon reaching a finding of guilty, the Court shall make a
recommendation to the Vice President of the College as to
the administrative action it deems appropriate within
the following limitations:
1. A minimum penalty shall be loss of assignment or test
credit for the assignment or test for violations involv-
ing cheating as specified in Section II, subsections 1, 2,
and 3. Additional penalties such as reprimands, sus-
pension, or others may be recommended for any as-
pects of Section II.
2. Maximum penalty for a first offense of any type shall
be suspension for a full calendar year.
3. Maximum penalty for a second offense may be suspen-
sion for three years.
C. Immediately following a hearing, the accused will be in-
formed of the Court's finding, and its recommendation to
25
the Vice President of the college. If the finding is guilty,
the accused will be informed that the Court may re-open
the case with the consent of the accused for good cause
within a three week period.
D. The Vice President of the College will inform all involved
persons in writing of the action he has taken in view of
Court recommendations. The Court Secretary will post
public notice of the Vice President's action by case
number without identifying the accused.
VII. Appeals of Findings and Penalties:
Should a student have cause to question the findings of the
Court or the action of the Vice President of the College or
both, he has the right to appeal. The channels of appeal are as
follows:
A. Court findings and/or the administrative action of the
Vice President of the College may be appealed within five
days by writing the President of the College. Further ap-
peal procedures will conform to the appeal procedures of
the College and of the Policies of the Board of Regents,
University System of Georgia (a copy of these policies is
available in the Library; see chapter on Students, section
on appeals, page 165, 1969 edition.)
VIII. Supervision of the Student Court:
As an institutional means of responding to the reported
infractions of the Honor Code, the Student Court is ulti-
mately responsible to the President of the College.
Supervision of the Student Court will be accomplished or-
dinarily through the Dean of Student Affairs and the Ad-
visors.
A. Dean of Student Affairs
In accordance with Article VI, Section F, of the College
Statutes, the Dean of Student Affairs will provide gen-
eral supervision of the Student Court and will provide
other guidance or services as directed by the President of
the College.
IX. Revision of the Honor code will require confirmation by
majority vote of those faculty and student body members
voting.

Degrees and General
Degree Requirements
Degrees Offered
The following degrees are offered in the Graduate Program:
Master of Education in Biology
Master of Education in Chemistry
Master of Education in Elementary Education
Master of Education in Early Elementary Education
Master of Education in Special Education— Behavior Disorders
Master of Education in English
Master of Education in General Science Education
Master of Education in Mathematics (Not active at present time)
Master of Education in History
Master of Education in Political Science
(Biology, Chemistry, English, History and Political Science are
available as options without teacher-certification requirements)
Time Limitation
Students working toward a master's degree must complete all
requirements for the degree within a period of not more than six
years from the date of first enrollment. Extension of time may be
granted upon recommendation of the student's major department,
but only in cases of unusual circumstances.
Course and Residence Requirements
Satisfactory completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours of
graduate credit is necessary for the Master of Education degree,
and a minimum of thirty (30) quarter hours must be earned in resi-
dence. Courses to be counted for a degree may be accumulated on a
full-time or part-time basis. No credits with grades below C may
count toward a degree. At least fifty percent (50% ) of the courses for
a degree must be at the 700 level or above.
Students should note that the sixty-hour requirement is a
minimum requirement. Degree students with academic weaknes-
ses should recognize that they may have to complete more than
sixty hours to fulfill all curriculum requirements and comply with
all academic regulations.
Degree Candidacy
Upon successful completion of twenty-five quarter hours of
graduate work taken in residence and at least one quarter prior to
making application for the degree, the student is required to file an
application for admission to candidacy. The student will submit the
27
completed application to his adviser. These application forms are
available in the Graduate Office.
Approval of the application will be based upon verification that
the student:
1. has been admitted to full graduate status (i.e., Regular Admis-
sion).
2. has maintained a minimum of a "B" average in all work at-
tempted.
3. has met any other requirements stipulated for his degree pro-
gram.
Application for the Degree
At the time specified on the academic calendar, the student must
file an application for the appropriate master's degree with his
major department. Note that the application for the degree must be
preceded by the application for candidacy by at least one quarter.
Application forms are available in the Graduate Office.
Thirty Hour Plan for a Second Master's Degree
Students who have already earned a master's degree can, under
certain circumstances, earn a second master's degree in the
Graduate Program by completing as little as 30 quarter hours of
graduate work in residence. Essential elements of the second mas-
ter's degree plan are:
1. All general requirements (e.g., Regular Admission status,
adherence to general academic regulations, "B" average,
comprehensive examinations, etc.) and all specific curricular
requirements (i.e., departmental prerequisites for courses,
specific courses, etc.) currently applicable to a master's degree
will apply to the second degree sought, except as explicitly
noted below
2. For the Second master's degree:
A. The student must take at least 30 quarter hours in resi-
dence additional to course work that was used in fulfilling
requirements for a previous master's degree. Additional
hours may be necessary in order to fulfill curricular re-
quirements or for such purposes as teacher certification in
programs designed as Approved Programs for Georgia
State Certification.
B. The 30 (or more) hours in residence must meet existing
requirements on recency of credit. For the other hours,
(hours applied to both the first degree and to the second
degree), fifteen hours will have no age limit, but the re-
maining hours must be no more than twelve years old when
requirements for the second master's degree are com-
pleted.
C. A curriculum plan for a second degree that is consistent
with existing catalogue plans must be prepared by a de-
partment head or by a graduate adviser with his or her
28
department head's endorsement. A copy of this plan will be
sent to the Dean's Office and will be given to the student.
For this purpose, current advisement forms, with approp-
riate modifications may be used. The plan must show the 30
(or more) hours to be taken in residence and the previous
graduate hours that are to apply to the second degree.
Summary of General Requirements for the
Master's Degree
General regulations for obtaining a master's degree are sum-
marized as follows:
1. Admission to full graduate status (i.e., Regular Admission).
2. Admission to candidacy for the degree.
3. Satisfactory completion of at least sixty (60) quarter hours of
approved graduate level course work.
4. Meeting certification requirements for M.Ed, programs (how-
ever, some M.Ed, programs may have an option for no certifi-
cation).
5. Maintenance of "B" average.
6. Satisfactory completion of a comprehensive examination.
7. Filing an application for the degree at the time specified.
Teacher Certification
Although some M.Ed, degree programs have an option for no
certification, generally these degrees are designed to comply with
the requirements for teacher certification at the fifth level in the
various areas of specialization. The degree ordinarily is granted
only to students who qualify for T-5 certification (or equivalent
certification for other states), which in turn entails meeting T-4
certification requirements (Georgia). Students who use graduate
credits to meet T-4 certification requirements may be required to
take graduate courses beyond the 60 hours required for the M.Ed,
degree in order to meet T-5 certification requirements. Since the
M.Ed, programs require 60 hours, which is 15 more than the 45
minimum required for the T-5 by the State Education Department,
15 of the 60 graduate hours may be used to fulfill T-4 certification
requirements. However, none of the 15 hours so used can then be
applied toward meeting the 45 hours specified for the T-5.
Detailed information concerning programs and procedures relat-
ing to graduate teacher certification may be obtained from Educa-
tion Offices.
Non Certification M.Ed. Programs
Building on the basic, academic structure of the typical M.Ed,
degree programs, departments may offer M.Ed, programs without
applying all of the stipulations for certification programs. The cur-
riculum essentials of a non-certification degree program are:
29
At least fifteen hours of education course work.
At least twenty-five hours of major area course work.
At least five hours of free electives.
Such programs do not meet certification requirements by the
State of Georgia.
SUPERVISION OF
DEGREE PROGRAMS AND REQUIREMENTS
Graduate students are held responsible for meeting the require-
ments stipulated for their particular programs and for abiding by
the Academic Regulations of the Graduate Program. Members of
the graduate faculty, through their advisement and instructional
activities, help supervise students in meeting these academic re-
sponsibilities. Graduate department heads fulfill key roles in the
supervision of students, faculty, and programs related to their de-
partments. The Dean of Education gives general supervision to all
Master of Education degree programs and provides a variety of
administrative services, which support and monitor these pro-
grams.
Departments,
Programs, and Courses
Departmental requirements covering admissions, prerequisite
courses, and other aspects of the programs of study are described in
this section of the Bulletin.
Departmental Coordinators
For each program of study, a department head (or other faculty
member) serves as Coordinator. The Departmental Coordinators
for 1980-1981 are:
Biology: Dr. Leslie Davenport.
Chemistry: Dr. Henry Harris.
Elementary and Early Elementary Education: Dr. Thelma Har-
mond.
Secondary and Special Education Programs: Dr. William Stokes.
English: Dr. Hugh Pendexter.

Courses
Graduate courses are listed and described in each departmental
section. The following course numbering system is used: courses
numbered 500-699 may be taken by undergraduate or graduate
students and, in some cases, are courses that are cross-listed as 300
30
and 400 courses. Courses numbered 700-799 or higher are for
graduate students only.
Each course listed shows the departmental identification, the
course number, the course name and a code number. The code
number indicates: with the first number, the hours of lecture per
week; with the second number the hours of lab per week; and with
the third number the quarter hours of credit for the course. Exam-
ple: Chemistry 522. Inorganic Chemistry (3-0-3).
Statements on prerequisites, campus location and descriptions

Program of Study Leading to the Degree
Master of Education in Biology
Admission Requirements
Students entering the M.Ed, program in biology (with certifica-
tion) must satisfy all general admission requirements of the
Graduate Program, including the requirement that the GRE Ap-
titude or NTE Common and an appropriate advanced or area test
be completed prior to full admission. Students must also have com-
pleted a minimum of 30 qtr. hrs. credit in undergraduate courses in
biology and a minimum of 10 qtr. hrs. credit in organic chemistry.
In addition to the general admission requirements of the
Graduate Program and the specific requirements in biology and
chemistry, students who wish to obtain an M.Ed, degree in biology
without certification are required to take the GRE Advanced test in
biology and obtain a minimum score of 540 to gain full admission to
the program. A student who does not meet the minimum score on
the Advanced Test will be required to take two recommended un-
dergraduate courses on the 300 or 400 level and pass them with at
least B's before being granted regular admission status.
Advisement
Each student will be assigned an academic adviser from the
Graduate Biology Faculty and a professional adviser from the
Graduate Education Faculty. The student must meet with each of
his advisers and plan his program under their guidance, and should
have at least one conference per quarter with his academic adviser.

Objectives
The M.Ed, degrees are designed to provide T-5 certification ac-
cording to levels and specific areas as stipulated by the Georgia
State Department of Education. Degree programs for specific, sec-
ondary areas of certification such as history, English, biology, etc.
are described in the chapters of this catalogue devoted to these
content areas. The education departments participate in each such
program but also offers several complete programs leading to cer-
tification, such as Special Education-Behavior Disorders, Reading
Specialist, etc. The education department heads can provide gui-
dance for meeting the certification requirements.
40
By offering advanced preparation to those who professionally
serve in schools, the departments hope to aid in the development of
teachers who possess the highest qualities of character, commit-
ment, and professional competence. This aim will be facilitated by
(1) encouraging the student to do scholarly study in advanced pro-
fessional, specialized and general education subject matter; (2)
helping the student become acquainted with the most recent re-
search developments in child growth and development and the
latest trends in curriculum; (3) deepening his appreciation for per-
formance in scientific investigation and research; and (4) promot-
ing personal and professional maturity of the student that will be
reflected in his relationships as he goes about his work in the com-
munity and the field of education.
Admission Requirements
Students entering the elementary education, the early elemen-
tary, and the special education programs must satisfy all general
admission requirements of the Graduate Program. Elementary
and early elementary education students must submit scores on
both the "Commons" and the area examinations of the National
Teacher Examinations (NTE).
Advisement
Shortly after admission each student will be assigned an educa-
tion adviser. As soon as he is notified of this assignment, the stu-
dent should schedule an appointment with his adviser to determine
any conditions and specific requirements the student must meet in
order to complete both his degree and certification objectives.
Transfer Courses
Students should note carefully the general sections on Transfer
of Graduate Credits and Academic Advisement on pages 17 and 16
and must adhere to these requirements; students should also note
requirements for CATES courses on page 21.

Elementary Education Programs
(Middle School)
Several specialization programs are offered under the aegis of
the M.Ed, degree in elementary education. These specialized pro-
grams of study provide, in addition to the graduate major in
elementary education which leads to T-5 certification in this area,
opportunity for students to qualify for certain other kinds of certifi-
cation. Students should inquire at the education offices for certifi-
cation opportunities provided by these specialized programs.
Graduate students majoring in elementary education must com-
plete a minimum of sixty quarter hours of approved courses. These
hours are divided as follows: Professional Sequence — 20 hours;
Specialization Courses — 25 hours; and Approved Electives — 15
hours. One course in reading must be taken if not taken previously
as well as an appropriate course in exceptional children if not taken
previously.
The specialized content courses may be chosen from the following
areas: art and music; foreign languages; health and physical edu-
cation; language arts, including reading, literature, speech,
linguistics; mathematics and science; and the social studies. Edu-
cational background, types of teaching experience, specific needs,
interests and the goals of students will be the determinants for
staff advisement in student selection of content areas. Upon the
basis of the foregoing factors, students may choose specialized
courses from two or from several of the content areas.

Program of Study Leading to the Degree
Master of Education in English
Objectives
The Department of English, in cooperation with the Department
of Education, offers two programs of study leading to the Master of
Education degree with concentrations in English, one a certifiable
option and one a non-certifiable option. The objectives of the certi-
fiable program of study are:
1. To upgrade the teaching of secondary school English by in-
creasing the competencies of English teachers in the areas of
linguistics, composition, and literature;
2. To enable teachers of English in Secondary schools to pursue
study that will enrich their skills, knowledge, and understand-
ing in the teaching of language, composition, and literature;
3. To provide opportunities for professional growth and cultural
enrichment for individuals holding the bachelor's degree but
having no further degree or certification objectives;
4. To enable teachers of English in secondary schools to qualify
for the T-5 certificate.
The English Department also offers a non-certifiable M.Ed, de-
gree with some adjusted objectives and requirements.
Admission Requirements
All students entering the M.Ed, program in English must pre-
sent, in addition to the general requirements, the Graduate Record
Examination Advanced Test in Literature and English, although
no minimum score is prescribed.
Advisement
Each student admitted to the program in English will be assigned
an academic adviser from the English Department and a profes-
sional adviser from the Education Department. As soon as the stu-
dent is notified of this assignment, he should arrange for a confer-
ence with his advisers.

B. English 620, 621, and 622 are required of all students.
C. English 500, and 690 may be taken twice if the course is
offered a second time with a different topic.
Because the courses in the teaching of reading and in excep-
tional children are required for certification, a student must
present at least one of these as part of his undergraduate re-
cord before he will be admitted to candidacy for the M.Ed, de-
gree in English or must present the equivalent graduate course
in addition to the sixty (60) hours normally required in the
M.Ed, program.
Comprehensive Examination
Each candidate for the Master of Education degree with a con-
centration in English must pass a written comprehensive examina-
tion. The comprehensive examination will be based on the reading
list in language and literature which must be secured by the stu-
dent at the time of his matriculation. The student may choose to be
examined under any reading list in force during the time of his
enrollment. Copies of the reading list are available in the de-
partmental office. For more specific information concerning the
comprehensive examination, contact the department head.
The comprehensive examination covers two areas: 1) literature
before 1800, and 2) literature after 1800. The separate examinations
are to be taken in the course of the student's program, preferably
before the last quarter. At least one of the tests in literature will
include a question concerning bibliographical and research proce-
dures. The student must pass both examinations in order to receive
his degree. After two unsuccessful attempts at any one part of the
examination, a student may not apply to repeat that section for at
53
least two quarters during which he may do guided study or take
recommended courses in order to make up his deficiencies. Except
for the stipulation that he must wait at least two quarters if he fails
any examination twice, there is no limit on the number of times that
a student may take an examination.
The department head shall notify the student concerning the
proposed place, date and time of the examination and the result of
the examination.

Programs of Study Leading to the Degree
Master of Education in History
and in Political Science
I. M.Ed. Programs Leading Toward Certification (T-5 in
History and in Political Science
Objectives
The objectives of the graduate programs in history and in politi-
cal science are:
55
1. To increase the academic and professional skills, the compe-
tence and the enthusiasm of secondary teachers in history and
political science and in social studies generally.
2. To increase the teacher's knowledge and understanding of the
nature and conditions of learning and the learner, at the same
time making the teacher aware of the major features and
problems of secondary education in the American social order.
3. To accomplish these objectives by working in a situation re-
flective of the racial and social make-up of American society
and, in so doing, to provide a context in which teachers them-
selves may develop personally as well as academically.
Admission Requirements
Students entering the M.Ed, program in history or in political
science must satisfy all general admission requirements of the
Graduate Program, including the requirement that the GRE Ap-
titude or NTE Common, and an appropriate advanced or area test,
be completed prior to full admission. The results of these examina-
tions will then serve as a basis for academic advisement.
Students must also satisfy a prerequisite of 15 quarter hours of
undergraduate work in the major discipline before any course in
that discipline can be taken for graduate credit.

e. Electives 5
2. History or Political Science Courses 30
See section below on "Use of Electives" for further information
on hours in the major field.
D. General Requirements.
Use of Electives:
The flexibility provided by the 10 hours of "Approved Electives"
normally makes it possible to meet the other program guidelines
within a 60-hour total. But, students should be aware, for example,
that counting both graduate and undergraduate classwork, they are
required to have a total of at least 30 hours in their major teaching
area (i.e., American or European History, or American Government
in the case of Political Science majors.) There may also be areas
where undergraduate preparation was weak or unavailable, such as
professional education, non-western traditions, etc. Such problems
can best be solved on an individual basis with the help of the faculty
adviser.
Students should be aware that regardless of their major, state cer-
tification criteria recommend that social studies teachers include in
their program preparation in the following: American history and
government, conflicting ideologies, the modern world, Western
heritage, and non-Western traditions.
II. M.Ed. Programs in History and Political Science
(Without Certification)
Admission Requirements
Besides the general admission requirements of the Graduate
Program, students who desire to obtain an M.Ed, in history or
political science without certification are required to take the
GRE area test in history or political science and obtain a
minimum score of 450 in history or 410 in political science to
gain full admission to the program (Regular Admission status).
A student who does not meet the minimum score on the area
examination will be required to take two recommended under-
57
graduate courses on the 300 or 400 level and pass them with at
least B's before being granted regular status.
Course Requirements for
Non-Certification Programs

III. General Information — All Programs in
History and Political Science
Transfer of Credit
Students who have earned graduate credits at one or more accre-
dited institutions may, under certain circumstances, transfer a li-
mited number of quarter hours of such credits to be ayplied toward
58
the M.Ed, degree programs in history and political science. Such
transfer of credits is handled on an individual basis and requires
the written approval of the student's adviser and the Department
Head.
Advisement
Shortly after his admission to the program in either history or
political science, each student should contact the department head
to secure an adviser. As soon as he is notified of his assigned ad-
viser, the student should arrange for a conference with his adviser
and begin planning his degree program. Failure by the student to
consult regularly with his adviser may greatly lengthen the time
necessary to complete the program. Each student should feel free
to consult his adviser as often as is necessary.
Comprehensive Examination
An integral part of the graduate experience is the achievement of
a comprehensive understanding of the analytical skills and of the
current state of knowledge and scholarship basic to one's field. It is
the purpose of the Comprehensive Examination both to de-
monstrate this understanding and to aid in further synthesizing its
many aspects. Thus, the examination itself should be in part a new
experience, producing new insights and not merely a rehearsal of
previous ones.
Satisfactory performance on comprehensive examinations, both
the required written and the optional oral, will be required of all
degree candidates. Candidates should notify their major professor
and the department head of their readiness to be examined at the
time they apply for the degree — i.e., no later than mid-term of theri
next-to-final quarter. At this time the specific fields and reading list
to be covered will be defined, the make-up of the examining commit-
tee determined, and the date of the exam set. The examination
normally occurs before mid-term of the student's final quarter.
The department head shall notify the student concerning the
proposed place, date, and time of the examination, the composition
of the Committee and the result of the examination.
The department head will notify the student regarding the result
of the examinations. The examination papers and/or comments of
the examining committee will become part of the student's perma-
nent file in the Department, and the student may request a confer-
ence with his major professor and advisers for the purpose of re-
viewing the examination papers.
A student may repeat the Comprehensive Examinations as many
times as necessary to demonstrate the required level of compe-
tence.
59

I. History, Purpose and
Programs
History of the College
Armstrong State College was founded on May 27, 1935, as
Armstrong Junior College, by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Savannah to meet a pressing need for a college in the community.
The college was housed in the Armstrong Building, a gift to the city
from the family of George F. Armstrong, and over the years built or
acquired five additional buildings in the Forsyth Park and Mon-
terey Square areas. The college, as Armstrong College of Savan-
nah, became a two-year unit in the University System of Georgia on
January 1, 1959, under the control of the Regents of the University
System. In 1962, the Mills B. Lane Foundation purchased a new
campus site of over 200 acres located on Abercorn Extension. The
new campus, with eight new buildings, was occupied in December,
1965.
In 1964, the regents conferred upon Armstrong the status of a
four-year college, with the right to offer the degrees of Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Business Administra-
tion. President Henry L. Ashmore, who succeeded President Fore-
man M. Hawes on July 1, 1964, was charged with the responsibility
of developing the institution from junior to senior status. A junior
year was added to the college curriculum in 1966-67, with the senior
year added in 1967-68 and the first four-year degrees awarded at
the spring, 1968 commencement. The college now offers more than
twenty major programs leading to baccalaureate degrees, and, in
addition, the two-year associate degree in a number of academic
areas. Effective in the 1971-72 academic year, the Board of Regents
of the University System of Georgia authorized Armstrong State
College and Savannah State College to offer joint programs leading
to the M.B.A. and M.S. in Elementary Education degrees. Addi-
tional programs in Teacher Education were transferred from
Savannah State to Armstrong State on that date. With this ex-
change of programs, Armstrong offers the only degree programs in
Teacher Education at the baccalaureate and graduate levels in the
immediate geographical area.
Armstrong State College is designated a Health Professions
Education Center. Programs in Dental Hygiene (associate and bac-
calaureate), Medical Record Technology, Medical Technology,
Nursing (associate and baccalaureate) and Respiratory Therapy
have clinical learning experiences in the large variety of excellent
medical resources of Savannah and its environs. New programs will
be implemented over a ten-year period giving students a full range
of educational opportunity to prepare for careers in the health pro-
fessions.
The academic community includes approximately 3,000 students
and 140 full-time faculty members. Armstrong State College was
11
fully accredited as a senior institution by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools in December, 1968, with accreditation ret-
roactive to January 1, 1968, and was re-accredited in December,
1972.
Purpose
Armstrong State College is a multi-purpose institution offering
degree programs in the liberal arts, sciences, and a number of
specialized fields. As a service to the community, it also provides a
continuing education program for those who have non-degree ob-
jectives. The College strives to maintain the flexibility and adapta-
bility which activated its growth and change of status in less than
thirty-five years from a small city-supported junior college to a
senior college in the University System of Georgia. Therefore, the
College defines its present purpose in the following terms:
to provide modern facilities and a professional staff in an envi-
ronment that promotes the free exchange of ideas;
to bring each student to a better realization of his own intellec-
tual, emotional, and spiritual potential by providing academic pro-
grams in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences;
to develop the student's technical and analytical skills through
programs leading to professional degrees in a number of areas,
including Health Professions, Criminal Justice, Social Work, and
Teacher Education;
to offer opportunities for continuing education through sym-
posia, conferences, institutes, and courses unrelated to degree
programs;
to make available the full resources of the College through in-
volvement in research projects, public service activities, and other
programs sponsored by the community.
Pre-Professional Programs
Armstrong State College offers courses appropriate for the first
two years of baccalaureate programs such as engineering, forestry,
industrial management, pharmacy, physical therapy, physics, etc.,
not offered among its degree programs; and the pre-professional
study appropriate for dentistry, law, medicine, veterinary
medicine, and the other professional fields.
Armstrong State College-Georgia Institute of
Technology Dual-Degree Program
Upon completion of the first three years of academic work at
Armstrong, the student may enroll for two subsequent years at
Georgia Institute of Technology. After completing the require-
ments of the two cooperating institutions, the student will be
awarded a baccalaureate degree from Armstrong State College and
a baccalaureate degree in one of a number of academic areas from
the Georgia Institute of Technology. For further information on
this dual-degree program, the student should contact the Head of
the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, who is the
local coordinator of the Dual-Degree program.

programs are designed to provide opportunities for further profes-
sional growth, for expanding professional and cultural
backgrounds, and for extending knowledge and understanding in
an area of specialty.
For complete information about these programs, contact the Of-
fice of Graduate Studies.
MILITARY SCIENCE (ROTC) PROGRAMS
Armstrong State College has available to its students Army and
Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps programs. The Army Military
Science Department operates on the Armstrong campus, and its
program is described fully in section IX of this catalogue. The Navy
ROTC program operates on the Savannah State College campus,
but is available to students enrolled at Armstrong.
In order to participate in the Army ROTC program, see section IX
of this catalogue. For the Navy ROTC program, qualified male or
female students at Armstrong State College may enroll in the pro-
gram at Savannah State. Full tuition scholarships for students
desiring to be either Army, Navy, or Marine Corps officers are av-
ailable. Most majors are acceptable with entry level at either the
incoming freshman or prospective junior level. For further infor-
mation on these programs, consult the Registrar at Armstrong
State College; the Commanding Officer of the ROTC Units at
Savannah State College or Armstrong; or the appropriate sections
of the catalogues of the two colleges.
Government Internship Programs
Students at Armstrong State College may participate in two
state-wide internship programs; the Georgia Intern Program and
the State Legislative Intern Program. These programs provide the
student with opportunities to observe first-hand and to participate
in agency and legislative processes as he works under the direction
of, and is responsible to, an agency or legislative supervisor. In
addition to state-wide internship programs, students may partici-
pate in local internship experiences. They may receive academic
credit for these experiences. They must be enrolled full-time at the
College and must be in good academic standing. For further details
concerning the requirements for internship programs at the Col-
lege, please consult the Head of the Department of History and
Political Science.
Evening Classes
In addition to the full daytime schedule, Armstrong offers a
schedule of classes in the evening. Students employed during the
day should limit their enrollment to one or two courses each quar-
ter.
14
Senior Citizens
Residents of Georgia, sixty-two years of age or older at the time of
registration, may enroll in courses for credit or as auditors on a
space available basis, with waiver of matriculation fees. They will
be required, however, to pay for supplies, etc., that might be neces-
sary for a given course. The individual must present a birth certifi-
cate or other comparable documentation of age to qualify for the
waiver of fees and must meet all requirements for admission to the
College. Further information on this program is available from the
Office of Admissions.
Joint Continuing Education Center
The Joint Continuing Education Center was established in 1979
to combine the resources of both Armstrong State College's Com-
munity Service Division and Savannah State College's Extended
Services Division. Utilizing a Downtown Center located at 428 Bull
Street, the Joint Center operates a unified Continuing Education
program dedicated to serving the people of Savannah, Chatham
County, the State of Georgia and, for some programs, beyond those
boundaries.
A wide variety of programs are offered at Armstrong State Col-
lege, Savannah State College, the Downtown Center and, when it is
appropriate, at job sites, schools, community centers, and other
locations in Savannah. Instructors are drawn from the faculties of
both institutions, from qualified experts in the Savannah commun-
ity and from consultants throughout the region.
On the Armstrong campus, the Community Services Division,
under the direction of the Dean for Community Services, is respon-
sible for the coordination of all community services/continuing edu-
cation activities. Since these activities are viewed as a college- wide
function, responsibility for program development is shared with
the various academic departments on campus. The major commun-
ity services/continuing education components of the college are the
short-course/conference program and the off-campus credit class
program.
Short Course /Conference Program. This unit administers non-
degree courses, conferences, and seminars designed to provide for
the educational needs of area residents who do not wish to partici-
pate in the regular credit classes offered by the college. These ac-
tivities vary widely — some are related to professional development,
others reflect personal interests, while others are recreational in
nature. The Office of the Registrar maintains permanent records of
persons participating in those activities that meet certain criteria.
The Coordinator of Short Courses/Conferences is pleased to ar-
range an activity of special interest and value to community groups
and organizations. The Coordinator of Continuing Education in
Human Services organizes continuing education activities in the
health professions, criminal justice, and social work.
Off-Campus Credit Class Program. In order to provide education
opportunities for specific groups of area residents, the college
makes available credit classes at off-campus locations convenient
15
to the students involved. These classes are conducted in strict con-
formity with college standards and with policies of the Board of
Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Dean for College
and Community Services and the Deans of the Schools will work
with interested parties in organization of these classes.
Proctoring Examinations. The Community Services division
cooperates with the Georgia Center for Continuing Education
(University of Georgia) through service as a center at which exami-
nations are proctored for students enrolled in independent study
(correspondence) courses. A booklet describing these courses is av-
ailable upon request. Examinations from other colleges and
examinations by professional societies can also be proctored.
Examination proctoring is by prior arrangement only. Students
using this service are encouraged to check with the division office
prior to the date for the examination to make certain that the
examination materials are on hand.
Office of Development
The purpose of the Office of Development is to promote funding
for college programs from sources supplemental to state appropria-
tions and student fees. To accomplish this purpose, the college
participates in federal and other grant supported activities, and
seeks assistance from alumni and friends. From private sources,
the College accepts memorial and other gifts for the athletic pro-
gram, instructional equipment, library books, matching funds for
grants, scholarships, and other restricted purposes. Unrestricted
contributions are accepted to be used at the discretion of the Presi-
dent to meet special and unforeseen needs. Gifts of any size can be
used to add to the library collection in the name of an individual or
an agency; all gifts are acknowledged and published, where ap-
propriate and when requested. Gifts for scholarships are generally
received by the College in one of two ways: the donor specifies sup-
port or choice of specific students, with the College serving only as a
distribution agent; or the donor specifies support of student scho-
larships generally or scholarships within a broad academic field,
with the College identifying the gift by name, if appropriate, and
distributing the funds according to standard policies and proce-
dures. Gifts of this latter type are tax deductible. The Director of
Development is pleased to provide further information to any pros-
pective donor.
Office of Computer Services
This office coordinates the campus-wide system of computer ser-
vices. The Director also provides technical assistance to the faculty
and staff of the College in the development of computer programs
and systems. Through participation in the University System
Computer Network, information processing devices located on
campus are connected via a direct telephone line to the large com-
puters located at Georgia State University and the University of
Georgia.
16
Student Exchange Program with
Savannah State College
A student enrolled at Savannah State College or at Armstrong
State College as a full-time student has the privilege of taking one
course with his Dean's approval at the other college without paying
an additional fee. No restrictions are placed on the number of
courses taken at the other college if the student is enrolled in the
joint program in Social Work. In this program, however, the stu-
dent must enroll in major area courses only to receive unrestricted
enrollment privileges. The colleges operate a shuttlebus service
between the two campuses to facilitate movement of students who
are taking courses on both campuses. A student may obtain in the
Office of the Registrar the proper form for permission to register for
courses at Savannah State College.
Library
The Lane Library, centrally located on campus, is a multi-
resource and multi-service facility. The first floor houses a refer-
ence collection, all periodicals and micromaterials, government
documents, maps, folios, archives, and a reading room. The refer-
ence department utilizes the Lockheed on-line data base informa-
tion retrieval service for partial bibliographic searching. The tech-
nical services department, in which all orders are placed, cataloged,
and processed, is also located on this floor. The department catalogs
all monographs and performs interlibrary loans as a member of the
Southeastern Library Network. All audio-visuals, the circulating
collections, individualized study carrells and typing facilities are
located on the second floor. A television production studio and
graphic laboratory are also located on this floor. This sophisticated
complex allows faculty to augment their classroom lectures with
in-house production of video programming.
The library collections combine traditional media such as mono-
graphs, periodicals and micromaterials with more recent types
such as audio and video tapes, recordings, filmstrips and motion
pictures. An array of micromaterial readers and printers, vid-
eobeam projectors, and audio hardware is available for constant
use. Housed in the library are approximately 450,000 total re-
sources, including 125,000 books and bound periodicals; 10,000
documents and maps; 290,000 microforms; 10,000 records, motion
pictures, slides, and videotapes, and 900 newspapers and periodical
subscriptions.
The Lane Library faculty and staff welcome suggestions for the
improvement of the Library collections and services.

II. Student Services,
Activities
The Office of Student Affairs, administered by the Dean for Stu-
dent Affairs, is responsible for all student services and activities. In
addition to formal classroom instruction, the College recognizes the
need for providing programs and services which contribute to a
well-rounded college experience. Such programs are administered
by the Office of Student Affairs through the following individuals:
Counselors, Director of Student Activities, Director of Student Fi-
nancial Aid/Veterans Affairs, and campus Nurse.
Counseling
Counselors are available in the Counseling and Placement Office
to assist students in making successful and realistic decisions and
in choosing appropriate routes for attaining selected goals. The
counseling process focuses on increasing the student's self-
understanding and respect for his own ability to make decisions
that will affect his life. All discussions are confidential.
Counselors can assist students in clarifying educational and vo-
cational objectives, in developing effective study skills and habits,
and in dealing with problems of social and emotional significance.
The computerized systems of career guidance (SIGI) and study
skills instruction (CASSI) are available through Counseling.
Veterans Services
Armstrong State College maintains an Office of Veterans Affairs
located in the Administration Building. The Veterans' Director is
available to advise veterans concerning admissions procedures and
services available to them as students. The office also employs a
number of student veterans to assist in meeting the needs of vet-
eran student body at Armstrong.
Testing Services
A variety of individual tests and inventories are available
through, and often included in, counseling services. Such tests pro-
vide information to help students evaluate personal, educational,
or vocational needs. Test results are confidential.
The following testing programs are administered regularly by
members of the counseling staff: ACT Proficiency Examination
Program (PEP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Den-
tal Admission Test (DAT), Dental Hygiene Aptitude Test, Graduate
Record Examination (GRE), Medical College Admission Test
(MCAT), National Teacher Examinations (NTE), Regents' Testing
Program, and the Undergraduate Assessment Program (Exit
Examinations). Information about the Allied Health Professions

Graduate School Foreign Language Test, the Miller Analogies
Test, the Optometry College Admission Test, the Professional and
Administrative Career Examination, the State Merit Examina-
tion, and the Veterinary Aptitude Test may be obtained from the
Counseling and Placement Office.

is an important point in an individual's process of self-development.
The Summer Orientation Program (CHAOS) at Armstrong State
College is planned to aid the student in his transition to college by
exposing him to the dynamics of successful decision-making. Using
techniques that encourage the realization of possible outcomes and
consequences, the student will learn to explore his possibilities with
more understanding and confidence.
Freshmen participating in this program will be given informa-
tion concerning student activities programs, visit campus facilities,
and plan their class schedules with academic advisors.
An abbreviated orientation program is scheduled for students
new to the college prior to registration Winter, Spring, and Summer
Quarters.
Placement
The Placement Counselor, located in the Counseling and Place-
ment Office in the Administration Building, offers general assis-
tance in the planning of career directions. The office operates a
personal resume service for all regularly enrolled students of the
college, receives listings of full-time career opportunities, and ar-
ranges on-campus recruiting with business, governmental and
educational agencies. Students who wish to make use of the Place-
ment Service are advised to contact the Placement Counselor three
quarters prior to completion of studies.
The Placement Office also provides a job listing and referral sys-
tem for currently enrolled students who are seeking part-time tem-
porary, or vacation employment.
Conduct
Every student who enrolls in a course at Armstrong State College
commits himself, by the act of enrolling, to full compliance with the
rules and regulations of the Honor System and Code of Conduct.
The Honor System is outlined under "Academic Regulations" in
this Catalogue and the Code of Conduct is published in the
Armstrong Student Handbook, Students Illustrated.
Compliance with the regulations and policies of the faculty of
Armstrong State College and the Regents of the University System
of Georgia is assumed. To enroll is to agree to assume responsibility
for adhering to policies and using established channels to promote
change. Not to do so is sufficient basis for the college to terminate a
student's enrollment.

IV. Student Financial
Aid
Armstrong State College subscribes to the principle that the
primary purpose of a student financial aid program is to provide
financial assistance to students who, without such assistance,
would be unable to attend college. The primary responsibility for
financing a college education is the inherent obligation of the stu-
dent and/or family. Financial assistance from Armstrong State Col-
lege should be viewed as supplementary to the efforts of the stu-
dent and/or family. An assessment of parental ability to contribute
toward the student's educational expenses is made by the College
Scholarship Service so that neither the parent, the student, nor
Armstrong State College be required to bear an undue share of the
financial responsibility.
Application Information
An applicant for student financial aid at Armstrong must:
1. be enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the College;
2. obtain, complete, and submit a Financial Aid Form (FAF) to
the College Scholarship Service prior to June 30 for the coming
academic year.
3. submit a PELL Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Eligibil-
ity Report (SER) to the Office of Student Financial Aid by June
30 preceding the next academic year.
4. complete and submit the Request for Student Financial Aid
Form.
It may be necessary to complete additional forms depending on a
student's year in school, major course of study, and/or eligibility for
a particular program. Applications for financial assistance must be
repeated annually. Most student financial aid awards are for the
entire academic year, with payments made to the student in equal
quarterly installments. A student may, however, apply and be con-
sidered for financial assistance during the academic year, if funds
are available.
All student financial aid awards are contingent upon the availa-
bility of funds and the recipient's maintaining satisfactory prog-
ress toward a degree as defined in this Catalogue.
The minimum number of quarter hours for which a student fi-
nancial aid recipient may enroll per quarter varies from program to
program. Most require at least 12 hours per quarter (full-time
status); some require only 10 hours per quarter. All programs re-
quire that the student be enrolled at least half-time, taking 6 or
more quarter hours.
Students applying for financial aid, whether eligible or not, who
do not meet or adhere to the above requirements will not be consid-
ered for financial aid. It is the responsibility of the parents and/or
student to determine that all pertinent information and data have
28
been obtained and are located in the Office of Student Financial Aid
to assure a complete and accurate awarding of financial assistance.
When the student has received acknowledgement from the Col-
lege Scholarship Service that the Financial Aid Form (FAF) has
been sent to the College and the student has delivered the Basic
Grant Eligibility Report (SER) and the Request for Student Finan-
cial Aid, the Office of Student Financial Aid will send the student a
tentative award notice. The student should schedule an appoint-
ment with a financial aid advisor. The advisor will discuss the stu-
dent's financial aid package and a final award letter indicating the
type of award(s) and amount(s) will be processed.
Students who submit the PELL (Basic) Grant Student Eligibility
Report only, will not be considered for any other type of financial
assistance awarded by the College.
Transfer Students
In addition to the above requirements for all financial aid stu-
dents, transfer students are required to submit a complete finan-
cial aid transcript from the financial aid office of each institution of
higher education previously attended whether or not aid was re-
ceived. No awards will be made until these documents have been
received by the student Financial Aid Office.
Categories of Aid
The College provides necessary financial assistance through
grants, scholarships, work, and/or loans. Grants and scholarships
are awards that require neither service nor cash repayments. Op-
portunities for part-time employment are provided for eligible stu-
dents, usually on-campus, who are paid federal minimum wages on
an hourly basis. Loans require cash repayment, service repayment,
or a combination of both. These funds are made available through
the federal government, state government, and local sources. Stu-
dents in the classifications, Continuing Education, Exchange, and
Transient, are not eligible for financial aid.
Federal Assistance
The Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program (Pell Grant)
is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to
attend post-high school educational institutions. The BEOG is a
grant and, unlike a loan, does not have to be repaid. Award amounts
vary, depending upon the student's eligibility.
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program is
available to eligible students who establish exceptional financial
need as determined by the College Scholarship Service. The
minimum award is $200.00 per academic year.
Currently, the College Work-Study Program allows an eligible
student to work each class day during the quarter. Satisfactory
work performance is mandatory. The student must also maintain
satisfactory academic progress. A student on academic suspension,
29
even though readmitted on appeal, will not be allowed to partici-
pate in the Work-Study Program.
A National Direct Student Loan is no longer available to stu-
dents at the College. Students needing to secure academic loans
should (1) if a resident of Georgia, inquire about the State Student
Loan Program, or (2) if a non-resident of Georgia, contact the
higher education corporation in their state of residency.
Federal Nursing Student Loans and/or Scholarships are availa-
ble to students who have: (1) established a financial need through
the College Scholarship Service, (2) been accepted for enrollment by
Armstrong State College, and (3) been admitted to a nursing prog-
ram.
Law Enforcement Educational Program Grants are no longer av-
ailable to new students.
State Assistance
Georgia Higher Education Assistance Corporation. Under this
program, guaranteed loans are provided by private lending institu-
tions to residents of Georgia. The loans accrue interest at the rate of
7 percent simple interest. Loans are made by lending institutions
that have signed a contract with, and have the guarantee of,
GHEAC. The process involves application for the loan by the stu-
dent and parents, certification by the educational institution, and
final approval by GHEAC. Students who are unable to secure funds
locally may apply for a State Direct Loan. In this instance, the
State of Georgia provides the funds, and GHEAC guarantees the
loan. Students enrolled in certain health career fields may elect to
cancel all or a portion of their State Direct Loans by practicing in
their fields. Applications and additional information may be ob-
tained from the Office of Student Financial Aid. Students who re-
ceive GHEAC loans are usually required to be enrolled as full-time
students (12 hours). Exceptions are made only to health career
loans, in which case the student must notify the Office of Student
Financial Aid in advance for approval of hours to be taken.
Georgia Incentive Scholarships are awarded to residents who
began post-high school education after April 1, 1974, and whose
eligibility has been determined by the College Scholarship Service
financial analysis. All veterans who were residents of Georgia at
the time of their entry into military service may apply. Students
must also request submission of a copy of the FAF to the State
Scholarship Commission. All students applying for Georgia Incen-
tive Scholarships are required to apply for Basic Grant (BEOG).
The Board of Regents' Fund sponsors a program under which
Georgia residents may qualify for financial assistance at units of
the University System. Applicants must be in the upper 25% of
their class and have established a financial need through the Col-
lege Scholarship Service. Recipients must agree to work in the
state, at an occupation for which they are qualified educationally,
one year for each $1,000 received. If unable to meet this obligation,
the student is expected to repay the full amount with interest at the
rate of 3 percent simple interest.
30
Students may be recommended for employment on the Institu-
tional Work Study Program. Some departments and offices of the
college have funds available to hire student workers. Initial con-
tacts should be made by the student with the Director of Student
Financial Aid.
Local Assistance
Institutional Short-Term Loans are available to students for a
maximum of sixty days. Interest shall accrue at the rate of 3% per
annum. There are four short-term loans accounts: General, Nurs-
ing, Exchangette, and Kiwanis. Because of limited availability,
short-term loans are usually made available to students for pay-
ment of tuition and fees at the College. Other requirements con-
cerning short-term loans are available in the Office of Student Fi-
nancial Aid. Funds for the General Short-Term Loan Fund have
been provided by:
John Bravo Memorial Sigma Kappa Sorority
Rensing Loan Special Loans
Rho Beta Chapter of Stephen Davis Memorial
Alpha Phi Omega Union Camp Corporation
Dental Hygiene students may apply for scholarship and/or loan
funds from the Paderewski Memorial Fund. Interested students
should contact either the Head of the Department of Dental
Hygiene or the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Armstrong State College accepts Scholarship applications
throughout the year. Most awards are made annually during the
summer. Scholarships are awarded when:
1. an agency notifies the College of its intention to award a schol-
arship to a specified student, or
2. an agency informs the College that it will award scholarships to
a specific number of students selected by the Student Scholarship
Committee.
Applicants for scholarships awarded by the college must:
1. complete the initial application process for financial aid;
2. complete a separate scholarship application which may be ob-
tained from the Office of Student Financial Aid;
3. have, as an entering freshman, a minimum combined verbal
and mathematical SAT score of 1,000;
4. have, as a returning or transfer student, a minimum overall
grade-point average of 3.0.
5. unless otherwise specified, be a full-time student.
Individuals who are applicants for scholarships to be awarded by
the Student Scholarship Committee will be interviewed by that
Committee at a designated time. Award notification will be given to
those students selected at the end of the selection process.
Government Benefits
Social Security Administration. Social Security provides
monthly benefits to children when a parent (a) dies, (b) starts re-
ceiving Social Security retirement, or (c) starts receiving disability
31
benefits. Payments can be made until age 22, provided the child is a
full-time student in an educational institution. Benefits can con-
tinue until the end of the quarter of attainment of age 22, if re-
quirements for a bachelor's degree are not complete. Once Social
Security benefits begin, it is the individual's responsibility to notify
the Social Security office if he transfers to another school, if he
withdraws from school, or if he reduces his hours below full-time
attendance. The individual must also notify the Social Security
Administration if he marries, if he is adopted, or if he earns more
than $2,520 a year. Students who want to file applications, report
changes, or receive more information should contact their Social
Security Office.
Vocational Rehabilitation. The Georgia Vocational Rehabilita-
tion Program provides financial assistance for the applicant who
possesses an impairment which would prove to be a vocational
handicap. The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation may pay the cost
of tuition, books, and fees. Students who think that they may qual-
ify under this program should contact one of the area Vocational
Rehabilitation Centers located throughout the state. The Savan-
nah Center is located at 420 Mall Boulevard. Applicants sponsored
by Vocational Rehabilitation or other community agencies must
apply at least six (6) weeks before the beginning of any quarter to
insure proper processing of applications.
Veterans, Disability, and War Orphans Assistance. Veterans who
served on active duty for other than training purposes for more
than 180 days, any part of which occurred after June 1, 1966, are
eligible for financial assistance to attend college through the G.I.
Bill. Generally, sons and daughters of veterans whose death or
total disablement was a result of service in the armed forces are
eligible for financial benefits under the veterans program for edu-
cational assistance.
How to Apply. A prospective student must first make application
to the College and gain approval for admission from the Office of the
Registrar/Director of Admissions. A veteran cannot receive ben-
efits while matriculating under a Continuing Education admission
status.
Once accepted, the veteran should go to the Office of Veteran
Affairs, located in the Administration Building, and obtain an ap-
plication for VA educational benefits. The veteran must submit to
the Office of Veterans Affairs, an original DD 214 (or copy number
four) and supporting documentation of dependency status (mar-
riage certificate; divorce decree, if previously married; and birth
certificates of all dependent children.)
Students transferring from other educational institutions, OJT
programs, or correspondence schools must complete a "Request for
Change of Place of Training/Change of Program" VA Form 1995
with the Armstrong Office of Veterans Affairs. At the time of initial
matriculation each student/veteran must declare a specific pro-
gram of study (major) and must follow the curriculum for this major
without exception or benefits may be interrupted. Any student re-
ceiving government benefits from the Veterans Administration
must check with the Armstrong State College Office of Veterans
Affairs at the beginning of each quarter and file a form declaring
32
the specific courses and number of credit hours which he is attempt-
ing. Each student/veteran is reminded that he must report any
changes in his attendance, i.e., dropping, adding or withdrawal
from school, to the Armstrong Office of Veterans Affairs im-
mediately following such action. Veterans entering school under
the G.I. Bill should have sufficient funds to finance themselves
until payments from the VA begin (approximately six weeks after
application).
General Information Relating to Student
Financial Aid
Distribution of Financial Aid. Financial assistance is distributed
both directly and indirectly to eligible students from the federal,
state, and local governments and from private donors through the
Office of Student Financial Aid. Assistance is provided directly
when the name of the recipient and the amount of assistance to be
given are determined prior to the receipt of the funds by the Col-
lege. Assistance is provided indirectly when funds are given to the
College for general distribution to students who are determined to
be eligible for receipt of these funds. In both cases, it is the respon-
sibility of the Office of Student Financial Aid to assure that the
recipient has met all requirements and regulations concerning the
receipt of such funds. Students who are found to be in violation of
requirements and regulations concerning the receipt of financial
assistance may jeopardize their continued eligibility for participa-
tion in the financial aid program. It is the student's responsibility to
be knowledgeable about all requirements governing the receipt of
funds from each program from which the student receives financial
assistance.
Student Cost. Student financial aid is awarded to eligible stu-
dents on the basis of need in nearly all cases except scholarships
which have been provided by donors for the purpose of recognizing
academic promise or achievement. The determination of need is
provided for Armstrong State College students through the use of
the Financial Aid Form (FAF) and the College Scholarship Service
which processes this form. The process involves an analysis of the
data provided by the student's family or, if independent, by the
student. This analysis is sent to the Office of Student Financial Aid
where it is compared with the cost of education for the appropriate
classification of student. If the analysis shows that the family con-
tribution or self contribution is less than the cost of education, fi-
nancial need has been established. The Office of Student Financial
Aid has the legal right to challenge information provided on the
Financial Aid Form if, in the opinion of the financial aid officer, that
information appears to be inaccurate, incorrect, or misleading. In-
formation relating to a student's eligibility is available to that stu-
dent when he/she has completed all the necessary requirements for
processing his/her financial aid application at the College.
Student Classification. There are two basic student classifica-
tions: (1) dependent student who is a commuter (living with parents
or guardian) or resident (not living with parents or guardian, but
either receiving financial support from them or claimed by them as
33
a tax deduction); (2) independent student who is single (and totally
self-supporting) or married (or who is a single parent with one or
more children). Each classification constitutes a cost of education
group from which eligibility for financial aid is derived. An example
of the cost of education for a dependent commuter student for one
year would be:
Tuition and fees $635
Books and supplies 235
Room and board 1100
Transportation 400
Personal expenses 670
TOTAL $3,040
The cost of tuition and all pertinent fees, and the refund policy of
the College, are outlined in the "Fees" section of this Catalogue.
Availability of Funds. In general, students who enter the College
at the beginning of the Fall Quarter have a greater opportunity to
receive financial assistance than those who enter later in the
academic year. The awards processing time usually runs from June
1 to August 31. It is during this period that the Office of Student
Financial Aid distributes its yearly allocation of funds to students
who have completed the process cycle. In the event that there is a
shortage of funds, students who are eligible for financial aid but
whose applications were late will be placed on a waiting list until
such time as funds become available.
Rights and Responsibilities. Every eligible student has a right to
receive financial assistance provided that (1) funds are available at
the College for award to the student; (2) the student meets the
requirements pertinent to the program(s) from which assistance is
sought; (3) the student has been admitted to the College, or in the
case of an enrolled student, meets the standards of satisfactory
academic progress as outlined in the "Academic Regulations" sec-
tion of this Catalogue. In addition, it is the student's responsibility
to adhere to all regulations and requirements heretofore men-
tioned and to notify the Office of Student Financial Aid of any
change in status which would have any effect on the legitimacy of
financial assistance being received.
Student Retention. Information regarding student retention (i.e.,
enrollment patterns at the College) may be obtained upon request
from the Office of the Registrar. Copies of this information are
available to the student at a cost of $1.00 per copy. Information
regarding specific degree programs is available in this Catalogue
and from the Head of the Department in which a specific academic
program is offered.
Satisfactory Progress
For purpose of financial aid, a student is deemed to be making
satisfactory progress toward a degree until such time as he/she is
placed on academic suspension from the College. The student, upon
his/her readmission to the College, must, in the first quarter after
readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point-average as a full time student,
before he/she is again considered to be making satisfactory pro-
gress toward a degree. The award of financial aid will be suspended
during this quarter.

any or all of the credits from any high school or other institution,
notwithstanding its accredited status, when the College deter-
mines through investigation or otherwise that the quality of in-
struction at such high school or other institution is, for any reason,
deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgment of the College on this
question shall be final.
On the basis of achievement as reflected by high school or college
grades and academic potential as shown by scores on the Scholastic
Aptitude Test, an evaluation of each applicant's readiness to un-
dertake college work will be made. The Admissions Officer may
refer any application to the Admissions Committee of the College
for study and advice.
The decision as to whether an applicant shall be accepted or re-
jected shall be made by the Admissions Officer in accordance with
admission policies and subject to the applicant's right of appeal as
provided in the policies of the Board of Regents of the University
System. The Admissions Officer shall, as promptly as practicable,
inform the applicant of the action taken upon his application.
The College reserves the right to terminate acceptance of appli-
cations when enrollment capacity is reached. The College further
reserves the right to reject an applicant who is not a resident of the
State of Georgia.
All students enrolled at Armstrong State College are required to
affirm that they will abide by the provisions of the Honor Code. For
a detailed explanation of the Honor Code see the "Regulations"

Conditional Admission
The applicant who qualifies for admission to the College but who
does not qualify for regular admission will be granted conditional
admission. All conditionally admitted students must take the Basic
Skills Examination. This examination should be taken before the
students first registration at the College. Test dates for the Basic
Skills Examination appear in the Academic Calendar in this
Catalogue. If a conditionally admitted student registers before tak-
ing the Basic Skills Examination, his/her choice of courses will be
limited to English 98 and Reading 98 (if the student's SAT verbal
score is below 330), Mathematics 98 (if the student's SAT mathema-
tics score is below 330), Study Techniques 99, and core physical
education courses.
The student who presents an SAT verbal score of 330 or higher
and an SAT mathematics score of 330 or higher, whose combined
SAT score is less than 750, must take the Basic Skills Examination
for advisement purposes. When the examination has been taken,
the student will be granted regular admission.
The student who presents an SAT verbal score of less than 330
and/or an SAT mathematics score of less than 330 will be granted
regular admission if he/she passes all parts of the Basic Skills
Examination. If he/she does not pass all parts of the examination,
the student will remain conditionally admitted, will be placed in the
Special Studies Program, and will be required to enroll in appro-
priate courses in the Department of Special Studies until such time
as his/her identified academic deficiencies are removed. Upon suc-
cessful completion of the Special Studies courses required, the stu-
dent will be granted regular admission.
A student in the Special Studies Program must have his/her
schedule of classes approved by the Head of the Department of
Special Studies each time the student registers or preregisters. The
Head of the Department may refuse to allow a student in the Spe-
cial Studies Program to enroll in any course for which the student
lacks a prerequisite or for which the student's academic prepara-
tion appears inadequate.
A student in the Special Studies Program will not be allowed to
continue as a student at the College if the student receives three
grades other than P for a course required of him in the Special
Studies Program. Grades other than P include U, I, W, WU, and WF.
A student will exit the Special Studies Program and be granted
regular admission status upon satisfying the requirements stated
in the policies of the Special Studies Program. Copies of these
policies may be obtained from the Special Studies departmental
office.
Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination
Armstrong State College gives advanced placement, or in some
cases college credit, for college-level high school courses, on the
basis of the student's grade on the College Board Advanced Place-
ment Examination or the Admissions Testing Program achieve-
37
ment tests and approval by the appropriate department head at
Armstrong State College.
College credit may be granted for satisfactory scores on selected
tests of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), for satis-
factory completion of appropriate courses and tests offered
through the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI), and
for military service schools and experience as recommended by the
Commission on Accreditation of Service Experiences of the Ameri-
can Council on Education. Such credits may not exceed more than
one-fourth of the work counted toward a degree.
Specifically, the student with a strong academic background
may, through certain examinations, demonstrate competence in:
Art 200; Biology 101, 102; English 111; Criminal Justice 100, 204;
Foreign Language 101, 102, 103; History 114, 115, 251, 252;
Mathematics 101, 103, 206, 207, 220; Music 200; Natural Science
without Laboratory; Political Science 113; Sociology 201. For in-
formation concerning the examinations which apply to the specific
areas, please make inquiry to the Office of Admissions, the Office of
the Registrar, the Office of Counseling and Placement, or the Head
of the appropriate academic department.
It is possible for a student, through a combination of the ad-
vanced placement and credit by examination programs, to begin his
formal instructional program at Armstrong State College as a
sophomore.
Requirements for Transfer Applicants
1. Transfer applicants will follow the same procedures as
freshman applicants, except that transfer applicants who will
have achieved sophomore standing at the time of their en-
trance will not be required to submit their high school records.
Such records may be required by the Office of Admissions, but
normally the transcripts of previous college records will suf-
fice in place of the high school record. A transfer applicant
must ask the Registrar of each college he has previously at-
tended to mail an official transcript of his record to the Office
of Admissions at Armstrong State College, regardless of the
transferability of the credits.
2. Transfer applicants who will enter with less than 36 quarter
hours completed must meet entrance requirements of both
freshman and transfer applicants and will be required to sub-
mit their high school records as well as transcripts of college
records.
3. A transfer applicant will not be eligible for admission to
Armstrong State College unless he is eligible to return to the
last college attended on the date he expects to enter
Armstrong. A student who is on suspension from another col-
lege because of poor scholarship or for disciplinary reasons will
not be eligible for admission.
4. A transfer applicant will be considered for admission to
Armstrong State College, if, on all work attempted at other
institutions, his academic performance as shown by his
grade-point-average is equivalent to the minimum standard
38
required by Armstrong State College students by comparable
standing. (See chart under Academic Probation and Dismissal
Policy in the "Academic Regulations" section of this
Catalogue.)
5. Credit will be given for transfer work in which the student
received a grade of "C" or above. Credit will also be given for
transfer work in which the student received grades of "D",
with the limitation that such credit will not exceed twenty-five
(25) percent of the total amount of credit accepted with grades
of "C" or above. College credit will not be allowed for such
courses as remedial English or remedial mathematics or
courses basically of secondary school level.
6. Credits earned at an institution which is not a member of the
appropriate regional accrediting agency can be accepted on a
provisional basis only. A student transferring from an institu-
tion which is not a member of a regional accrediting agency
must achieve a "C" average on his first fifteen quarter hours of
work at Armstrong in order to be eligible to continue. In cer-
tain areas he may be required to validate credits by examina-
tion. In computing cumulative grade averages, only the work
attempted at Armstrong will be considered.
7. The amount of credit that Armstrong will allow for work done
in another institution within a given period of time may not
exceed the normal amount of credit that could have been
earned at Armstrong during that time. A maximum of 100
quarter hours may be transferred from a junior college. At
least half of the courses in the major field must be taken at
Armstrong.
8. Not more than one-fourth of the work counted toward a degree
may be taken through correspondence or extension courses.
No correspondence courses may be used to meet requirements
in the major field or the related field for the bachelors degree.
No correspondence course may be taken while a student is
enrolled at Armstrong State College without prior approval of
the Vice President and the Head of the department in which
the student is majoring. Correspondence credit will not be ac-
cepted for courses in English composition or foreign language.
9. If the Core Curriculum requirements in Area I (Humanities),
Area II (Sciences), and/or Area III (Social Sciences) have been
completed in a University System of Georgia institution, each
completed area will be accepted as having met the respective
area requirement at Armstrong State College.
Readmission of Former Students
A student who has not been enrolled at Armstrong for one or
more quarters must apply for readmission on a form provided by
the Office of Admissions. This requirement does not apply to stu-
dents who do not register for courses during the summer quarter. A
former student who has not attended another college since leaving
Armstrong may be readmitted provided he is not on suspension at
the time he wishes to reenter. A former student who has attended
another college since leaving Armstrong must meet requirements
as listed in the bulletin in effect at the time of his return.
39
Transient Students Entering Armstrong
Transient student status means that a student is admitted to
Armstrong State College only for a specified period of time, nor-
mally for one quarter. An applicant for transient status must file a
regular application form and submit a statement from his Dean or
registrar that he is in good standing and has permission to take
specific courses at Armstrong to be transferred to his own institu-
tion when satisfactorily completed. Since transient students are
not admitted as regular Armstrong students, transcripts of college
work completed elsewhere are not usually required of such applic-
ants. A transient student who wishes to remain at Armstrong
longer than one quarter must submit an additional statement from
his Dean or Registrar, or he must meet all requirements for regular
admission as a transfer student.
Armstrong Students Transient To Another
College
Armstrong students who wish to take course work at another
college with the intent of applying the courses to their academic
record at Armstrong may do so in accordance with regulations for
transient status to another college. The student must meet the
requirements stipulated by the other college, and in order to apply
the credits toward his or her academic record at Armstrong, must
meet the academic regulations of Armstrong. Check with the Re-
gistrar's Office for details
Armstrong State College Accelerated Program
for High School Students
High school students who have completed the eleventh grade,
who have met the criteria for admission to the program and who
maintain its standards will be permitted to enroll for college credit
in at least one course but not more than two courses each quarter at
Armstrong State College while they complete the senior year of
high school. Upon graduation from high school, these students will
be admitted as regular students of the College.
Through this program, a student may complete over two-thirds of
the freshman year of college before he begins his regular college
career. Students accepted in the program may choose any
freshman course for which they meet all prerequisites, with per-
mission of their high school principal or counselor and college ad-
visor.
A student forfeits the privilege of this program if in any quarter
his grade in a college course is below C or his high school average in
academic courses is below B.
The College will consider a student for this program only upon
written recommendation of his high school principal or counselor.
In the view of the College, it is only these individuals who can judge
the circumstances that may make the program valuable and prac-
ticable for any student.
40
To be admitted to the program a student must satisfy all of these
criteria:
1. written recommendation by the principal or counselor of the
high school;
2. completion of the eleventh grade in an accredited high school;
3. a combined verbal and mathematics SAT score of 1,000;
4. a minimum grade-point-average of 3.0 in high school work
completed.
Early Admission and Joint Enrollment Programs
Armstrong State College offers an early admission program for
those students who have completed the eleventh grade in high
school and who have demonstrated outstanding academic poten-
tial. The criteria for admission to this program are the same as
those listed for the Accelerated Program.
Additionally, the college cooperates with the Chatham County
School System in the offering of a joint enrollment program which
is an early admission program allowing the student to enroll full-
time at the College while remaining on the rolls of his local high
school. After successfully meeting all established criteria for the
early admission program, the student will be awarded a high school
diploma at the end of his freshman year in college. For further
information on this program the prospective applicant should con-
sult his high school counselor and/or request information from the
Office of Admissions at Armstrong State College.
Foreign Students
It is recommended that, whenever possible, foreign students
begin their attendance at the college in the Fall Quarter. The col-
lege also recommends that a foreign student attend an ELS lan-
guage center prior to enrollment. (Applications for ELS are avail-
able from the Admissions Coordinator, ELS Language Center, 3331
Ocean Park Blvd. Suite 201, Santa Monica, California 90405.
A student from a country other than the United States who is
interested in attending Armstrong must meet the following re-
quirements before application is made:
1. He must have met the requirements of freshman applicants.
2. He must have an official transcript of his academic record
mailed to the Office of Admissions at Armstrong with an offi-
cial translation.
3. He must take the SAT of the College Entrance Examination
Board in the testing center nearest his home and ask that the
results be sent to Armstrong.
4. He must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL) and score a minimum of 500 for consideration for
admission to the college.
5. He must submit a statement of financial resources prior to
attendance.
6. He must show proof of adequate health and life insurance.
If the applicant meets the academic requirements for admission,
he will be sent an application form. After it has been returned and
41
approved, the applicant will be sent an 1-20 Form (I-20A and I-20B),
which he can take to the American consul to ask for a student visa.
When he arrives on campus, he will be tested in English composi-
tion for class placement.
No scholarships are available for students who are not legal resi-
dents of Georgia. All foreign students must pay non-resident fees.
Admission of Veterans
After having been accepted at Armstrong State College and upon
receipt of Certification of Eligibility and Entitlement from the Vet-
erans Administration, veterans may attend under Public Law 358
(Veterans Readjustment Benefit Act of 1966), Public Law 815 (dis-
abled), Public Law 894 (disabled), Public Law 634 (war orphans), or
Public Law 361 (children of permanently disabled veterans). Stu-
dents under Public Laws 358, 361, or 634 should be prepared to pay
tuition and fees at the time of registration.
Applicants Sponsored by Vocational
Rehabilitation
Those applicants sponsored by Vocational Rehabilitation or
other community agencies must apply at least six (6) weeks before
the beginning of any quarter to insure proper processing of applica-
tions.
Admission to the Associate in Science Degree
Program in Nursing
Nursing requires a variety of skills and aptitudes and offers op-
portunities for service at differing levels of expertise. The associate
degree nurse utilizes theories and principles from bio-psycho-social
sciences and nursing as a basis for the nursing process. He/she uses
the nursing process to support, promote or alter the client's adap-
tive state in response to identified, commonly occurring, health
stressors. The associate degree nurse is prepared to work co-
operatively with colleagues on the nursing team in those health
agencies where the setting is structured and supervision is avail-
able. The candidate for the associate degree nursing program
should have good physical and mental health as well as those per-
sonal qualifications appropriate for nursing.
The Associate in Science degree program in Nursing is approved
by the Georgia Board of Nursing and is fully accredited by the Na-
tional League for Nursing (NLN).
General Information
Admission to Armstrong State College does not in any way
guarantee formal admission to the Associate Degree Nursing
Program. It is important that the applicant for admission to this
program file all papers required for admission consideration as
early as possible in the academic year preceding the Fall Quarter in
42
which the applicant wishes to enroll. It is recommended that in-
terested people who have been away from school for a considerable
period of time enroll in at least one academic course in an accredited
college of their choice during the year prior to application to the
Associate Degree Nursing Program.
The Admissions Committee in the Department of Associate De-
gree Nursing will act only on completed applications. Admission
decisions will normally be made in April each year. When the class
has been filled, admissions will be closed. Students who qualify for
admission but who are not admitted because of lack of space may
re-apply for the following year's class, repeating all application pro-
cedures. Students admitted for a given academic year must enter
the program during that academic year or re-apply for admission
for any subsequent year. Determination of admission to the pro-
gram is a function of the faculty.
Transfer students must meet the minimum criteria for admission
to the Department of Associate Degree Nursing as stated. Credit
for nursing courses and science courses taken prior to application
to the program must be approved by the Department of Associate
Degree Nursing. Because of the rapid turnover of knowledge in
health fields and the factor of retention of vital background infor-
mation, students wishing to be given transfer credits for nursing
and science courses which are five years old or older may be re-
quired to validate the credits by taking departmental examinations
or be required to repeat these courses for credit.
The major part of the applicant's high school work should be in
the college preparatory area. Because of the heavy emphasis on
science in the nursing curriculum, it is important that the applicant
have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and mathematics.
The quality of the applicant's high school work in English and social
studies is important in the total evaluation of the qualifications for
admission to the program.
In addition to the usual college tuition and fees, the student in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program must purchase uniforms and
some supplies and equipment. Each student is required to wear the
official insignia of the Nursing Program on an approved uniform.
Approximately two weeks before the opening of school, each stu-
dent admitted to the program will receive information, along with
approximate charges, concerning supplies, equipment, and un-
iforms needed for the Fall Quarter. Students in the program are
responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the
community hospitals and other health agencies which furnish their
facilities for use in clinical instruction within the program.
Before registering for the first nursing courses, each student
must have (1) proof of nursing liability insurance; (2) a satisfactory
health record; (3) successfully completed all English and mathema-
tics diagnostic requirements, if applicable.

the admission criteria and progression criteria in effect at that
time. Students who do not meet all appropriate progression re-
quirements will not be readmitted. Students who have been dismis-
sed, are ineligible for readmission.
Admission to the Bachelor of Science Degree
Program in Nursing
The Department of Baccalaureate Nursing offers a curriculum
which provides entering freshmen, transfer students, and Regis-
tered Nurses the opportunity to earn the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Nursing. The major portion of the applicant's high school
work should be in the college preparatory area since nursing builds
upon the sciences, languages, mathematics and social studies.
Applicants to the program must be regularly admitted to
Armstrong State College prior to making application to the nursing
major. Students admitted to Armstrong State College must meet
the admission requirements of the Department of Baccalaureate
Nursing to be eligible for admission to the nursing major. Admis-
sion to the nursing major is the function of the Departmental Ad-
missions Committee. The Departmental Admissions Committee
acts only on completed applications.
Students will be admitted to the nursing major during Winter
Quarter, Sophomore year. When the class is filled, the Departmen-
tal Admissions Committee will close admissions. Students who
qualify but who are not admitted because of lack of space may reap-
ply for the next quarter that students are admitted.
Because clinical learning experiences are provided in a variety of
settings, students will be responsible for providing their own trans-
45
portation to and from clinical areas. Armstrong State College does
not provide student housing. Students should contact the Office of
Student Affairs for information regarding housing available in the
area.
Students will be required to purchase an official uniform, health
and liability insurance, and supplies and equipment as determined
by the Baccalaureate Nursing Faculty. Information regarding
medical history, liability insurance, uniforms, supplies and equip-
ment will be provided after admission to the nursing major.
Criteria for Admission to the Nursing Major

attempted.
In order to be eligible to register for BSN 331, students must
successfully complete the 97 hours of pre-nursing course work
listed in the pre-nursing curriculum.
Freshman students may declare a pre-nursing classification upon
admission to Armstrong State College. Such declaration does not
guarantee admission to the nursing major.
Transfer applicants and those with degrees in other fields must
meet the criteria established for admission to the nursing major.
Level of entry will be determined by the Department of Bac-
calaureate Nursing. Transfer credit will be awarded depending
upon equivalency of courses. These decisions will be determined by
the Departmental Admissions Committee using actual course out-
lines, descriptions, etc., supplied by the student.
Registered Nurse applicants must meet the criteria established
for admission to the nursing major and must also submit proof of
licensure. After admission to the nursing major, Registered Nurses
may challenge a maximum of 39 credit hours through written
examinations and/or practical examinations. In order to challenge
nursing courses, the Registered Nurse student must complete all
general education courses included in the Baccalaureate Nursing
Curriculum Guide for the Freshman and Sophomore years and
BSN 331 prior to beginning challenge exams for the nursing
courses BSN 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338 (see curriculum design
on p. 218). These nursing courses are sequenced and students are
advised to follow the sequence in the prescribed order. Challenge
examinations are administered on a pass/fail basis. The student
46
who fails a challenge examination will be required to take the
course. Credit obtained by challenge examinations or course work
must be completed before enrolling in Senior level courses.
Time Limit for Program Completion
Students must complete the Baccalaureate Nursing Program
within four (4) consecutive years from the date of their initial ad-
mission to the nursing major. Students who do not complete the

and recommendation by the Departmental Admissions Com-
mittee of the Department of Baccalaureate Nursing.
4. Students who have been dismissed are ineligible for readmis-
sion.
Admission to the Associate in Science Degree
Program in Dental Hygiene
The profession of dental hygiene is an ideal career for individuals
interested in science and health services. The growing and con-
stant demand for graduate dental hygienists assures regular hours
and good compensation.
A dental hygienist works under the general supervision of a den-
tist and performs a number of dental functions. The hygienist's
duties usually include performing oral prophylaxis (cleaning of
teeth), instructing patients in dental health, taking, developing and
mounting dental x-rays, applying fluorides, and sometimes assist-
ing the dentist in chairside and laboratory duties.
There are certain personal qualifications which are essential for
a successful dental hygienist. These are good health, neat appear-
ance, high moral character, a desire to be of service to others, and
the ability to get along well with people.
There are no definite age requirements or restrictions for the
basic dental hygiene program. However, all applicants must be
graduates of an accredited high school or its equivalent.
Admission to Armstrong State College does not in any way
guarantee admission to the Associate Degree Program in Dental
Hygiene. Applicants must first be accepted for admission to the
College with regular admission status; they then must meet the
requirements for admission to the Associate Degree Program in
Dental Hygiene before being accepted as students in that program.
The purpose of the program is to meet the need for individuals
educated in this rapidly growing and important health profession.
Dental hygienists are in demand to provide dental health services
47
in private dental offices, civil service positions, school programs,
and various public health fields. They practice under the supervi-
sion of a dentist and must pass a written national board examina-
tion and a state board examination for licensure. To qualify for
many state board examinations, the hygienist must be a United
States citizen.
Admission to the program is limited in each class. Students enroll
in the Fall Quarter of each year. Applications for admission should
be completed as soon as possible for the Fall Quarter. These appli-
cations must include a transcript of all academic work. A complete
transcript must be submitted as soon as possible thereafter.
The major part of the applicant's high school work should be in
the college preparatory area. Because of the heavy emphasis on
science in the dental hygiene curriculum, it is important that the
applicant have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and
mathematics. The quality of the applicant's high school work in
English and social studies is important in the total evaluation of
the qualifications for admission to the program.
Applicants who are on academic probation or suspension from
another college will not be considered for admission to the program.
Unless specifically approved by the Head of the department, credit
will not be accepted for courses taken in another school of dental
hygiene.
In addition to the normal college tuition and fees, the student in
the dental hygiene program must purchase supplies and equip-
ment. Only new, complete, and approved instrument kits are ac-
ceptable. Each student is required to wear the official uniform of
the program. These uniforms are ordered during the Fall Quarter.
Prior to entering, each student admitted to the program will re-
ceive information, with approximate costs, concerning supplies and
equipment needed for the Fall Quarter.
For information regarding housing available in the area, contact
the Office of Student Affairs. Students are responsible for provid-
ing their own transportation for field experiences.
Desired Admission Criteria
Factors influencing the decisions of the Dental Hygiene Admis-
sions Committee are:
1. A 2.5 or better high school grade-point-average.
2. An SAT score (composite verbal and mathematics) of 750 or
above.
3. An average score on the Dental Hygiene Aptitude test of 4.0.
This test is recommended but is not required.

consecutive academic years from the date of their initial admission
to the program. Students who do not complete the program within
this time limit must reapply for admission, meet current criteria for
admission, and have their previous credits evaluated at the time of
their subsequent admission. Students who are readmitted must
meet course requirements in effect at the time of their readmission.
Clinical Requirements
The purchase of any required uniforms and name tags for "Di-
rected Experience" in health care facilities will be the financial
responsibility of the student. The student will be expected to pro-
vide her/his own transportation to the hospitals and to any
scheduled field trips. Three clinical placements will be in the
Savannah area while the student is attending classes at
Armstrong. Additionally, in May of the second year, each student
goes on a full-time, four-week affiliation. The sites utilized are lo-
cated, preferably, outside Savannah and are selected by the Pro-
gram Director in consultations with each student.
Recommended Preparatory Courses
It is suggested that students planning to apply to this program

VI. Academic
Regulations
Academic Advisement
All students are required to participate in the advisement system
at Armstrong State College. The Vice President gives overall direc-
tion to the advisement program, with the appropriate department
heads coordinating advisement activities within the various de-
partments. Students who have selected a major or general field of
study are advised by the appropriate department. Special Studies
students are advised by the Special Studies Counselor. All other
students are advised by Core Curriculum Advisors. Freshmen and
transfers who have selected a major will be advised in the academic
department of their major. Freshmen and transfers who have not
selected a major and have not completed the core requirements will
be advised by Core Curriculum Advisors. Faculty advisors are av-
ailable for academic counseling throughout the quarter.
The student's course selection must be approved by an advisor as
an integral part of the registration process. The time for meeting
with faculty advisors each quarter is during the advisement period
designated in the Academic Calendar. The student is responsible
for fulfilling the requirements of his or her degree program and
must observe all regulations for admission to courses, including
meeting prerequisite requirements.
English Composition Requirements
During a student's initial quarters of enrollment at Armstrong
State College, he or she must enroll in the appropriate sequence of
English composition courses until the sequence has been completed
and/or the Regents' Test has been passed. For assistance with iden-
tifying the appropriate English composition courses, a student may
consult with advisers in the department of his declared major, in
the Office of Admissions, or in the Department of Languages and
Literature.
Relating to Degree Requirements
1. Each student is responsible for fulfilling the requirements of
the degree program which he has chosen, in accordance with
the regulations of the college catalogue.
2. Exceptions to course requirements for a degree are permit-
ted only with the written approval of the appropriate Dean,
upon the recommendation of the department head.
3. A student will normally graduate under the catalogue in ef-
fect at the time of his admission to the College. Armstrong
State College, however, reserves the right to change any pro-
vision listed in this catalogue, including but not limited to
academic requirements for graduation, without actual notice
to individual students. If a student has been absent from the
54
College for two or more consecutive years, he should expect to
meet all requirements in effect at the time of his return.
4. Not more than one-fourth of the work counted toward a de-
gree may consist of courses taken by correspondence, exten-
sion, or examination. No correspondence courses may be used
to meet the requirements in the major field or related fields
for the Bachelor's degree or in English composition or foreign
language. No correspondence courses may be taken while a
student is enrolled, without prior approval of the appropriate
Dean and the head of the department in which the student is
majoring.
5. By State law, one of the requirements for a diploma or certifi-
cate from schools supported by the state of Georgia is a dem-
onstration of proficiency in United States history and gov-
ernment and in Georgia history and government. A student
at Armstrong State College may demonstrate such profi-
ciency by:
a. Examinations — Students may take either the relevant
CLEP, College Board Admissions Testing Program
Achievement Test, or Advanced Placement Test (making
their own arrangements).
b. Credit in the following — for U.S. and Georgia Constitu-
tion: Political Science 113; for U.S. and Georgia History 251 or
252 or any upper division course in U.S. History.
6. To qualify for the baccalaureate degree, a student must earn
at Armstrong at least 45 quarter hours of credit applicable
toward the degree. Additionally, the student must complete
successfully at Armstrong a majority of the upper division
credits required in his major field of study. For students in
teacher education programs, the major field of study is the
teaching field. For the Associate Degree, the student must
complete at least 45 quarter hours of course work at
Armstrong State College. Armstrong students enrolled in
the cooperative degree programs with Savannah State Col-
lege in Business Education, Industrial Arts Education, and
Trade and Industrial Education may be exempted from these
requirements by a recommendation of the Dean of the School
of Education, concurrence by the Teacher Education Commit-
tee, and approval of the Committee on Academic Standings.
7. For graduation the student must earn an overall average of
2.0 or better considering work taken at all colleges, computed
in such manner that a course will be counted only once, re-
gardless of the number of times that it has been repeated.
The grade earned in the last attempt will determine the
number of honor points assigned for graduation. Addition-
ally, the student must earn a grade-point average of 2.0 or
better on each of the following:
a. all work at Armstrong
b. all courses in the major field.
8. To qualify for a second baccalaureate degree, a candidate
must earn at Armstrong at least 45 additional hours of credit
and, of course, meet all qualitative requirements for the de-
gree.
55
9. Before a degree will be conferred upon a student by
Armstrong State College he must pay all fees and must sub-
mit to the Registrar his completed Application for Gradua-
tion two quarters before graduation. A candidate for a de-
gree, unless excused in writing by the President, Vice Presi-
dent, or Dean of Student Affairs, must attend the graduation
exercises at which a degree is to be conferred upon him.
10. Each student must successfully complete the Regents' Test
and must take an Exit Examination in his major field as
requirements for graduation. Candidates for a second bac-
calaureate degree are exempted from the Regents' Test re-
quirement.
Course and Study Load
The normal course load for a full-time student is 15-18 quarter
hours (and a course in physical education during the freshman and
sophomore years). An average student should devote at least thirty
hours each week, in addition, to course preparation.
A full-time student is defined as one who is registered for 12 or
more quarter hours. A part-time student is one registered for less
than 12 quarter hours. A student should plan about ten hours prep-
aration per week for each 5 quarter hour course.
Classification of Students
A student who has earned 45 quarter hours of credit will be clas-
sified as a sophomore; 90 quarter hours of credit, as a junior; 135
quarter hours of credit, as a senior.
Permission for Overload or Courses at Another
College
Permission to enroll for more than 18 quarter hours will be
granted by the Registrar to a student:
1. with an average grade of "B" for full-time enrollment in the
preceding quarter, or
2. with an overall grade-point average of 3.0, or
3. requiring an extra course in one of the two quarters prior to
graduation.
No student will be allowed to register for more than 21 quarter
hours in any one quarter.
A student who is on academic probation will not be permitted to
register for more than 18 quarter hours in any one quarter.
Exceptions to these limitations may be made only by the appro-
priate Dean.
A student enrolled at Armstrong who at the same time takes
courses for credit at another college may not transfer such credit to
Armstrong, unless he has obtained in advance the written permis-
sion of the appropriate Dean at Armstrong State College to register
for those courses.
56
Reports and Grades
The faculty feels that students in college should be held account-
able for their scholarship. Accordingly, grade reports, warnings of
deficient scholarship and all such notices are not sent to parents or
guardians by the Registrar. Instead, the students themselves re-
ceive these reports and are expected to contact their advisors
whenever their work is unsatisfactory. Grade reports are issued at
the end of each quarter. Each student has access to an advisor; in
addition, the Registrar and all instructors are available to help any
student seeking assistance.
Armstrong State College awards the following grades which are
used in the determination of a student's grade-point-average:
Grade Honor Points
A (excellent) 4.0
B (good) 3.0
C (satisfactory) 2.0
D (passing) 1.0
F (failure) 0.0
WF (withdrew, failing) 0.0
The student's cumulative grade-point-average recorded on his
permanent record card is determined by dividing the total honor
points earned by the total hours attempted. The student's adjusted
grade-point-average is determined by dividing the total honor
points earned by the total hours attempted, with hours and honor
points for repeated courses not duplicated in the calculation.
Armstrong State College also uses the following symbols for
grade reports. These symbols carry no honor points and are not
included in the determination of either the cumulative grade-
point-average or the adjusted grade-point-average.
Symbol
Explanation
W
withdrew, no penalty
I
incomplete
s
satisfactory
u
unsatisfactory
V
audit
K
credit by examination
P
passing, special studies
A student who receives a report of "I" for a course should consult
his instructor at once and arrange to complete the requirements of
the course. An "I" which has not been removed by the middle of the
succeeding quarter is automatically changed to an "F" unless the
instructor recommends an extension in writing addressed to the
appropriate Dean. The "S" and "U" symbols may be utilized for
completion of degree requirements other than academic course
work (such as student teaching, clinical practica, etc.). Withdrawal
without penalty (W) is not permitted after the quarterly dates
listed in the "Academic Calendar" in this Catalogue as the dates for
mid-term. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Vice
President and will be approved only on the basis of hardship. Ap-
peals for a change of grade may be initiated through the head of the
57
appropriate academic department in accordance with the Regula-
tions of Armstrong State College.
Honors
Dean's List: Students enrolled for at least ten quarter hours of
course work who earn an honor point average of at least 3.5 will be
placed on the Dean's List, published quarterly. Only course work
taken at Armstrong will be used in the computation of Dean's List
honors.
Cum Laude: Those students graduating with an honor point av-
erage of 3.2 through 3.499 will be graduated cum laude.
Magna Cum Laude: Those students graduating with an honor
point average of 3.5 through 3.799 will be graduated magna cum
laude.
Summa Cum Laude: Those students graduated with an honor
point average of 3.8 through 4.0 will be graduated summa cum
laude.
All work attempted at Armstrong and other accredited institu-
tions will be considered in computing honors for graduation.
Attendance
The control of student attendance at class meetings and the ef-
fect of a student's attendance on his grades in a course are left
entirely to the discretion of the instructor.
A student is responsible for knowing everything that is an-
nounced, discussed, or lectured upon in class as well as for master-
ing all assigned reading; he is also responsible for turning in on
time all assignments and tests, including recitation and unan-
nounced quizzes.
The instructor will be responsible for informing each class at its
first meeting what constitutes excessive absence in that particular
class. Each student is responsible for knowing the attendance regu-
lation in his/her class and for complying with it. An instructor may
drop a student from any class with a grade of "W" or "WF," as
appropriate, if in the instructor's judgment the student's absences
have been excessive.
Satisfactory Progress
For purpose of financial aid, a student is deemed to be making
satisfactory progress toward a degree until such time as he/she is
placed on academic suspension from the College. The student, upon
his readmission to the College, must, in the first quarter after
readmission, earn a 2.0 grade-point-average before he/she is again
considered to be making satisfactory progress toward a degree. The
award of financial aid will be suspended during this quarter.
58
Academic Probation and Dismissal
A student who maintains or exceeds the grade-point-average in-
dicated below for quarter hours attempted will be considered in
good standing.
When a student first falls below the GPA required for the appro-
priate accumulation of hours, he will be placed on academic warn-
ing. If he does not raise his GPA to a satisfactory level the next
quarter, he will be placed on academic probation.
Quarter Hours Attempted at Required Adjusted
Armstrong and Elsewhere GPA
0-15 1.3
16-30 1.4
31-45 1.5
46-60 1.6
61-75 1.7
76-90 1.8
91-120 1.9
121-135 and over 2.0
A student on academic probation who raises his adjusted grade-
point-average during the probationary quarter to equal or to ex-
ceed the appropriate figure in the foregoing table will be removed
from academic probation. One who fails to achieve the required
adjusted average, but who does earn an average of at least 2.0
during the probationary quarter, will be continued on probation for
the next quarter of attendance. The College places no restrictions
on the extracurricular activities of students who are placed on
academic probation. Any student on academic probation should
plan both his curricular and extracurricular activites with care,
consulting with his advisor in so doing.
The student on academic probation who does not achieve the
required adjusted average or who does not earn an average of at
least 2.0 for the quarter in which he is on probation will be sus-
pended from the college for one quarter. A student who is on
academic suspension for the first time, however, has the option of
attending summer school without having to appeal the suspension.
A third academic suspension is final.
A student reentering the college after academic suspension is
placed on probation and must meet the requirements listed above.
A student suspended for academic reasons may appeal by letter
to the Committee on Academic Standing to be delivered to the Of-
fice of Student Affairs. Such a letter of appeal should state the
nature of any extenuating circumstances relating to the academic
deficiency; the letter should be received no later than 9 a.m. on
registration day. No action will be taken on appeals received later
than 12:00 noon on the day following registration day. The action of
the Committee on Academic Standing is final.
Repeating Courses
Any course for which a grade of "D" or "F" has been recorded may
be repeated with the last grade to be counted in the adjusted
59
grade-point average. A student who repeats any such courses
should complete a "Notice of Course Repetition" form available in
the Office of the Registrar.
Dropping Courses
A student desiring to drop a course after the quarter has begun
must obtain a Drop- Add Notice in the Office of the Registrar. The
notice must be signed by the instructor of the course being dropped
and returned by the student to the Office of the Registrar.
A student who drops a course not more than seven class days
after the course begins will receive no grade for the course. A stu-
dent who drops a course after the first seven class days and on or
before the quarterly dates listed in the "Academic Calendar" in this
Catalogue for mid-term will receive a "W" or a "WF" depending on
his status in the course. A student may not drop a course without
penalty following the quarterly dates listed in the "Academic Calen-
dar" for mid-term. A student is not allowed to drop English 111,112,
or 211 at anytime unless extenuating circumstances prevail. In
order to drop one of these courses, the student's drop form must be
authorized by the Vice President and Dean of Faculty or his desig-
nated representative.
Withdrawing from College
Any student who finds it neccessary to withdraw from college
must begin the process in the Office of Student Affairs. A formal
withdrawal is required to insure that the student is eligible to re-
turn to Armstrong State College at a future date. Any refund to
which a student is entitled will be considered on the basis of the
date which appears on the withdrawal form.
Auditing
A regular student wishing to "audit" a course without receiving
credit must obtain permission of the instructor before he registers
for the course. During the registration process the student should
request to "audit" a course. (Policy for some courses forbids "audit-
ing.") A student may not change from audit to credit status or from
credit to audit status after he has completed the process of registra-
tion for a course. A student who audits a course will have a "V"
recorded for that course on his transcript. The regular schedule of
fees applies to auditors, unauthorized auditing is prohibited.
Honor Code
The Honor Code at Armstrong State College is dedicated to the
proposition that the protection of the grading system is in the in-
terest of the student community. The Student Court is an institu-
tional means to assure that the student community shall have
primary disposition of infractions of the Honor Code and that stu-
dents accused of such infractions shall enjoy those procedural
guarantees traditionally considered essential to fair and impartial
hearing, the foremost of which is the presumption of innocence
until guilt be established beyond a reasonable doubt.
60
I. Responsibilities of Students:
All students must agree to abide by the rules of the Honor
Code. A student shall not be accepted at Armstrong State
College unless he or she signs a statement affirming his un-
derstanding of this agreement. The Honor Code shall be
printed in the official bulletin and the Student Handbook.
It will be the responsibility of the Student Court or its des-
ignated representative to conduct an orientation program at
the beginning of each quarter for all newly entering students
to explain fully the Honor Code and to allow full discussion of
its requirements.
Any student desiring assistance with any matter related to
the Honor Code is invited to seek assistance in the Office of
Student Affairs.
II. Violations of the Honor Code:
Violations of the Honor Code may be of two kinds: (a) gen-
eral and (b) those related to the peculiarities of specific
course-related problems and to the understanding of indi-
vidual instructors. Any instructor whose conception of cheat-
ing would tend to enlarge or contract the general regulations
defining cheating must explicitly notify the affected students
of the qualifications to the general regulations which he
wishes to stipulate. The following will be considered general
violations of the Honor Code.
1. Giving or receiving any unauthorized help on any assign-
ment, test or paper. The meaning of "unauthorized help"
shall be made clear by the instructor of each class.
2. Stealing when related to cheating.
3. Plagiarizing.
4. Giving perjured testimony before the Student Court.
5. Suborning, attempting to suborn, or intimidating witnes-
ses.
6. Failing to report a suspected violation of the Honor Code.
III. Reporting Violations of the Honor Code:
Anyone wishing to report a violation may come to the Of-
fice of Student Affairs for assistance in contacting members
of the Student Court.
A. Self-reporting: A student who has broken the Honor Code
should report himself to a member of the Student Court.
B. Anyone (faculty member or student) who is aware of a
violation of the Honor Code must report the matter. This
may be done in one of two ways:
1. He may tell the person thought to be guilty to report
himself to a member of the Student Court no later than
the end of the next school day. After this designated
time the person who is aware of the violation must
inform a member of the Student Court so that the Stu-
dent Court may contact the accused person if he has
not already reported himself.
2. He may report the suspected violation directly to a
member of the Student Court without informing the
accused.
61
IV. The procedural rights of the students accused of violations of
the Honor Code:
The essence of the procedural rights of an accused is the
right to a fair and impartial hearing and the right to be pre-
sumed innocent until proven guilty. Specific rights are as
follows:
1. The accused will be notified in writing by the Student
Court or its designated representative of the nature and
details of the offense with which he is charged along with
the names of his accusers and the principal witnesses to be
brought against him. This notification shall occur no less
than three days prior to the date of the hearing.
2. The accused has the right to counsel of his own choosing.
Such counsel will not participate directly in the proceed-
ings except to advise his client. It is expected that such
counsel will be drawn from the college community.
3. The accused and the person bringing the charges shall be
afforded an opportunity to present witnesses and
documentary or other evidence. The accused and any in-
dividual bringing the charges shall have the right to cross
examine all witnesses and may, where the witnesses can-
not appear because of illness or other cause acceptable to
the Court, present the sworn statement of the witnesses.
The Court shall not be bound by formal rules governing
the presentation of evidence, and it may consider any evi-
dence presented which is of probative value in the case.
4. The accused may not be made to bear witness against
himself. The Court may not take the refusal of the accused
to testify as evidence of guilt, but this proviso does not
give the accused immunity from a hearing or from recom-
mendations reached in a hearing simply because the ac-
cused does not testify.
5. The accused shall have access to a complete audiotape of
the hearing and to the record prepared by the secretary.
6. The substantive facts of a case may be re-opened for con-
sideration upon initiation of the accused acting through
normal appeal channels. The accused shall not be put in
double jeopardy.
7. All witnesses will be sequestered from the hearing room
during the course of a hearing. Witnesses may not discuss
a pending case.
8. By prior agreement, the accused will be allowed such ob-
servers of the hearing as may be commensurate with the
space available. Otherwise, in the interests of the right of
privacy of the accused, hearings will be private, except
that the College may also have observers additional to the
advisors to the Student Court.
V. The Honor Code Commission, The Student Court Selection
Committee, The Student Court, and Advisers to the Court:
A. Honor Code Commission
It shall be the purpose of the Honor Code Commission to
administer the student academic honor code. The Commis-
sion will have the responsibility for revising and updating
62
the student academic honor code as needs arise. The Honor
Code Commission shall consist of the President, Vice-
President, and Secretary of the Student Government Associ-
ation and the current President and Secretary of Student
Court together with three faculty members appointed by the
President of the College.
B. Student Court Selection Committee
The Student Court Selection Committee will select mem-
bers for the Student Court. The Student Court Selection
Committee will consist of two faculty members from the
Honor Code Commission, one of whom is the chairperson
of that commission, two students from the Honor Code
Commission, one of whom is a member of the Student
Court, two faculty members from the Conduct Commit-
tee, one of whom is the chairperson of that committee,
two students from the Conduct Committee, one of whom
is a member of the Student Court, and the Dean of Stu-
dents.
C. Student Court
1. The Student Court will be selected by the Student
Court Selection Committee and will be composed of
twelve students. Due consideration will be given to
equitable apportionment of court members on the
basis of academic class, race, and sex. Students on
academic probation may not serve. All appointments
will be issued and accepted in writing. Appointments
will be made during Spring Quarter in time for newly
elected members of the Court to assume their duties
by May 1. Appointments will be made as needed to
keep the Student Court staffed to do business on a
reasonably prompt basis. These appointments may
constitute permanent or temporary replacements as
the Student Court Selection Committee deems neces-
sary.
2. The Student Court will elect a President, Vice-
President, and a Secretary from its membership. The
President will preside at all meetings. The Vice-
President will assume the duties of the President if the
President is absent. The Secretary will maintain writ-
ten notes of all proceedings and audiotape records of
all testimony, and will maintain exhibits of evidence
which by their nature may reasonably be maintained
in the Court files. A quorum of the Court shall consist
of eight members. A two-thirds majority secret ballot
vote is required to reach a finding of guilty. All other
questions may be decided by a simple majority vote.
3. Constituency of the Student Court during the Summer
Quarter shall include all appointed members in atten-
dance, and others shall be appointed to membership by
the Student Court Selection Committee.
4. Student Court members shall examine their con-
sciences carefully to determine whether they can in
good conscience serve on a panel hearing a particular
63
case, and in the event that there is any doubt, what-
soever, such members shall excuse themselves from
duty on the specific panel in question.
B. Advisers to the Court
1. An adviser and an associate adviser to the Student
Court shall be appointed by the President of the Col-
lege.
2. Ordinarily the adviser will serve in that office for one
year only and usually will be succeeded in that position
by the associate adviser. Therefore, after the initial
appointments, only an associate adviser will ordinar-
ily be appointed each year. The succession of an as-
sociate to the adviser position is deemed to occur on
the last day of Spring Quarter. If, for any reason, the
adviser is unable to complete his term, the associate
adviser shall succeed to the office of adviser and
another associate adviser shall be appointed by the
above procedures. If, during the Summer Quarter,
neither adviser is on campus, a temporary adviser will
be appointed.
3. Duties of the adviser and the associate adviser: It shall
be the duty of the adviser to consult with the Court and
to offer advice to the President and members of the
Court on substantive and procedural questions. The
adviser, or the associate adviser in the event the ad-
viser is unable to attend, shall be present at all meet-
ings and hearings of the Court. The adviser may not
vote nor may he participate directly in the conduct of
hearings before the Court except through the chair-
man, or acting chairman, of the Court. The adviser
should be governed at all times by the principle that a
hearing before the Student Court is primarily a matter
of student responsibility.
VI. Procedures and Penalties adopted by the Student Court:
The Student Court shall formulate its own bylaws govern-
ing internal organization and procedure. Such bylaws must
be consistent with the Honor Code.
A. Hearings shall be called by the Court President to be held
on a date not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10)
class days after notice to the accused as provided in Sec-
tion IV-2. Exceptions to these time requirements may be
granted.
B. Upon reaching a finding of guilty, the Court shall make a
recommendation to the Vice President of the College as to
the administrative action it deems appropriate within
the following limitations:
1. A minimum penalty shall be loss of assignment or test
credit for the assignment or test for violations involv-
ing cheating as specified in Section II, subsections 1, 2,
and 3. Additional penalties such as reprimands, sus-
pension, or others may be recommended for any as-
pects of Section II.
64
2. Maximum penalty for a first offense of any type shall
be suspension for a full calendar year.
3. Maximum penalty for a second offense may be suspen-
sion for three years.
C. Immediately following a hearing, the accused will be in-
formed of the Court's finding, and its recommendation to
the Vice President of the College. If the finding is guilty,
the accused will be informed that the Court may re-open
the case with the consent of the accused for good cause,
within a three week period.
D. The Vice President of the College will inform all involved
persons in writing of the action he has taken in view of
Court recommendations. The Court Secretary will post
public notice of the Vice President's action by case
number without identifying the accused.
VII. Appeals of Findings and Penalties:
Should a student have cause to question the findings of the
Court or the action of the Vice President of the College or
both, he has the right to appeal. The channels of appeal are as
follows:
A. Court findings and/or the administrative action of the
Vice President of the College may be appealed within five
days by writing the President of the College. Further ap-
peal procedures will conform to the appeal procedures of
the College and of the Policies of the Board of Regents,
University System of Georgia (a copy of these policies is
available in the Library; see chapter on Students, section
on appeals, page 165, 1969 edition).
VIII. Supervision of the Student Court:
As an institutional means of responding to reported infrac-
tions of the Honor Code, the Student Court is ultimately re-
sponsible to the President of the College.
Supervision of the Student Court will be accomplished or-
dinarily through the Dean of Student Affairs and the Ad-
visors.
In accordance with Article VI, Section F, of the College
Statutes, the Dean of Student Affairs will provide general
supervision of the Student Court and will provide other gui-
dance or services as directed by the President of the College.
IX. Revision of the Honor Code will require confirmation by the
majority vote of those faculty and student body members
voting.

The student should complete all Core Curriculum requirements
during his/her freshman and sophomore years.
Regents' Testing Program
The University System of Georgia requires that all students suc-
cessfully complete tests of writing skills and reading comprehen-
sion as a requirement for graduation. An individual holding a bac-
calaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institu-
tion of higher education will not be required to complete the Re-
gents' Test for a second degree. An individual who successfully
completed the Regents' Test as part of an associate degree program
will not be required to repeat the Test as part of a subsequent
baccalaureate degree program.
Students may take the Test upon completion of the required
composition sequence in their degree programs (usually English
111, 112 for associate degrees; English 111, 112, 211 for bac-
calaureate degrees). Students must take the Test in the quarter after
their completion of ' U5 hours. They will be notified to do so on their
grade reports for the quarter in which the 45th hour has been com-
pleted. Students who neglect to take the Test when first notified to
do so will be prohibited from pre-registering at the College for a
subsequent quarter. They may, however, register at the regularly
scheduled registration.
"Students who neglect to take the Test by the quarter following their
60th credit hour earned will be prohibited from registering at
Armstrong State College for subsequent quarters"
Transfer Students will be subject to the above requirements.
Transfer students who have earned 60 or more quarter hours must
take the Regents' Test during their first quarter of attendance.
Students who do not pass the Test will be notified of eligibility for
review and of requirements for remedial courses. Students who do
not pass the writing skills portion of the Test may request a formal
review upon meeting conditions of eligibility stated in Regents'
Testing Program Policy.
Students who have not passed the Test upon their completion of 75
quarter hours of credit will be required to enroll in the remedial
course or courses of reading and/or writing in each quarter of atten-
dance until such time as they pass the Test.
71
The complete text of the policy for the Regents' Testing Program
is printed as an appendix to this Catalogue.
Exit Examinations
Each student who receives a degree from Armstrong State Col-
lege at the Associate or Baccalaureate degree level is required to
take an Exit Examination in his/her major area. Each Exit Exami-
nation is designed to assess the mastery of concepts, principles, and
knowledge expected of the student at the conclusion of major study.
Please see the appropriate department head for further informa-
tion concerning these examinations.
Physical Education Program
All students who are enrolled in baccalaureate degree programs
for ten quarter hours or more on the day schedule are required to
complete six hours of physical education which must include P.E.
117 (Basic Health) and P.E. 103 (Elementary Swimming) or P.E. 108
(Intermediate Swimming). Three additional courses are to be
elected from any physical education activity courses with the last
two numbers being 01 to 09. Any student who holds a valid senior
life saving certificate and/or a valid water safety instructor certifi-
cate and/or passes the Armstrong swimming test may be exempted
from P.E. 103 or P.E. 108. Physical education is not required of
anyone who is beyond the age of 25 at the time of initial matricula-
tion or of anyone enrolled primarily in evening classes. A student
who has completed at least six months of military service is re-
quired to take only four hours of physical education, which may be
chosen from all scheduled offerings.
A student graduating with an Associate degree must complete
three credit hours of Physical Education.
The Department requires all students to make up excused ab-
sences; unexcused absences lower the final grade.
Placement Tests in English and Mathematics
The College reserves the right to place students in appropriate
English and Mathematics courses numbered less than 115. Diag-
nostic tests are administered for this purpose. Each student who
has not otherwise met the prerequisite requirement for Mathema-
tics 101 (see departmental course listing) must achieve at least a
score of 20 on the Mathematics Diagnostic Test before he may reg-
ister for Mathematics 101. Each student who has not otherwise met
the prerequisites for English 107, 111, 110 or 191 must take the
Placement Test before he may register for these English courses or
must pass English 099 in the cases of English 107 and 111.
Scheduled dates for the administration of these tests are listed in
the "Academic Calendar" section of this Catalogue.
72
State Requirements in History and Government
By state law, each student who receives a diploma or certificate
from a school supported by the State of Georgia must demonstrate
proficiency in United States History and Government and in Geor-
gia History and Government. A student at Armstrong State College
may demonstrate such proficiency by successfully completing
examinations for which credit will be awarded. See "Academic
Regulations" section of the Catalogue, or request further informa-
tion from the Head of the Department of History and Political Sci-
ence.
Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts and the
Bachelor of Science Degrees
Requirements for each major program leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Arts with a major in English, History, Music, Political
Science, Psychology, or to the degree of Bachelor of Science with a
major in Biology, Chemistry, or Mathematical Sciences are de-
scribed in the appropriate departmental listing. For the B.A. and
B.S. degrees, a minimum of 185 quarter hours, exclusive of the
required physical education courses, is required for graduation.
Each student in one of these major programs must complete the
96-hour core curriculum requirement as listed above.
The student will not be allowed to take senior division courses in
his major field unless he has a minimum grade of "C" in all pre-
requisite courses in that field. No major program in a department
will require more than 60 quarter hours at all levels in the major
field; however, the department may recommend up to 70 quarter
hours.
For its major program, a department will require from 15 to 30
quarter hours of specific courses or approved elective courses in
related fields and may require language courses reaching the de-
gree of proficiency specified by the department. Total requirements
in the major and related fields, may not exceed 85 quarter hours.
Each B.A. or B.S. degree program, except those designed for Den-
tal Hygiene, Medical Technology, Nursing, and teacher certifica-
tion, will include a minimum of 15 quarter hours of electives ap-
proved for credit within the Armstrong State College curriculum.
Requirements for Associate Degrees
Each associate degree program at Armstrong State College will
include as part of its curriculum the following requirements: (1)
English 111, 112; (2) History 251 or 252; (3) Political Science 113; (4)
one course to be chosen from Areas I, II, or III of the Baccalaureate
Core; (5) three credit hours of Physical Education. The student in
an associate degree program is required to complete successfully
the Regents' Examination and to take an Exit Examination in his/
her area of concentration.
73
Additional Requirements for Degree Programs
For specific course requirements and for curriculum outlines of
specific degree programs, see departmental listings of course offer-
ings and degree programs.
Course Offerings
In the course listings to follow, there appear three numbers in
parenthesis after each course title. The first number listed indi-
cates the number of hours of lecture; the second number listed
indicates the number of hours of laboratory; the third number
listed indicates the number of quarter hours of credit carried by the
course.
Courses numbered 0-99 carry institutional credit only and may
not be applied to a degree program. Courses numbered 100-199 are
generally planned for the freshman year; courses numbered 200-
299 for the sophomore year; courses numbered 300-399 for the
junior year; and courses numbered 400-499 for the senior year.
Courses taken to fulfill core curriculum requirements may not be
used to meet other requirements of a degree program.

VIII. Department of Special
Studies
Professor John R. Hansen, Head; Assistant Professors Cottrell,
Dandy, Harris, Geoffroy and Smith. Counselor Zahniser.
The Department of Special Studies provides a program of com-
pensatory education for students whose academic deficiencies may
prevent successful completion of collegiate studies. Students may
be placed in departmental courses on the basis of English Place-
ment Test, Mathematics Diagnostic Test, or Regents Examination
performances. Regularly admitted students may voluntarily en-
roll, subject to prerequisites, in any departmental courses. Condi-
tionally admitted students must enroll in accordance with the
stipulations of their admission (see the Conditional Admission sec-

IX. Military Science
Department
Assistant Professor, Major Howard E. Abney, Jr., Head.
General
The Army Department of Military Science is a Senior Division
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), Instructor Group, staffed
by Active Army Personnel. The department provides a curriculum
available to Armstrong State and Savannah State students under
the cross-enrollment program that qualifies the college graduate
for a commission as an officer in the U.S. Army, United States Army
Reserve, or the United States Army National Guard. Qualifying for
a commission adds an extra dimension to the student's employment
capability in that, upon graduation from college, the student has
either military or civilian employment options. Enrollment is open
to male or female students of Armstrong State and Savannah
State.
The Reserve Officer Training Corps program is designed to de-
velop leadership qualities and to give students an understanding of
the Armed Forces and how they support the national policies and
interests of the United States. In particular, ROTC programs are
charged with the mission of commissioning second lieutenants who
have the qualities, attributes and educational credentials essential
for service as junior officers in the Army.
Army Military Science Program
The course of study offered in military science is designed not
only to prepare both the male and female student for service as a
commissioned officer in the United States Army but also to provide
him with knowledge and practical experience in leadership and
management that will be useful in any facet of society. Male and
female students are eligible for enrollment. Each student is pro-
vided with a working knowledge of the organization and function-
ing of the Department of Defense and the role of the U.S. Army in
the national security and world affairs.
The course of study pursued by students during their freshman
and sophomore years in the basic military science course and/or
related skill activities. The course of study normally pursued by
students during their junior and senior years is the advanced mili-
tary science course.
For selection and retention in the advanced course, a student
must be physically qualified, should have maintained above aver-
age military and academic standing, and must demonstrate a po-
tential for further leadership development.
Graduates of the advanced course are commissioned second
lieutenants in the United States Army Reserve in the Branch of
service most appropriate to their interests and academic achieve-
ments, consistent with the needs of the Army. Regardless of the
77
branch selected, all officers will receive valuable experience in
management, logistics and administration. Advanced course
graduates will be commissioned and either called to active duty
after graduation to serve for a period of three to six months or three
years depending on the prevailing military requirements and cir-
cumstances. Graduates may be granted a delay in reporting for
active duty for graduate study. A small number of outstanding
students are designated distinguished military graduates and are
offered commissions in the Regular Army each year.
Basic Military Science
Basic military science courses involve six quarters during the
freshman and sophomore years. The student learns the organiza-
tion and roles of the U.S. Army and acquires essential background
knowledge of customs and traditions, weapons, map reading, tac-
tics and communications. Equally important, these courses have
the objective of developing the student's leadership, self-discipline,
integrity and sense of responsibility.
Placement
Veterans entering the military science programs will receive ap-
propriate placement credit for their active military service. Stu-
dents who have completed military science courses in military pre-
paratory schools or junior colleges may be given appropriate credit.
Students with at least three years of high school ROTC may also be
granted placement credit. Placement credit or six quarters of basic
military science, or the equivalent thereof, is a prerequisite to ad-
mission into the advanced program.
Advanced Military Science
The general objective of this course of instruction is to produce
junior officers who by education, training, attitude and inherent
qualities are suitable for continued development as officers in the
Army. There are two avenues available for the student to be eligi-
ble for entry into the advanced program and obtain a commission as
a second lieutenant:
(a) satisfactory completion of, or placement credit for, the basic
program at Armstrong State or at any other school, college or
university offering basic ROTC and meeting the entrance
and retention requirements established by the Army.
(b) be an active duty veteran or junior ROTC cadet graduate
eligible for placement credit.
Alternate Programs for Admittance to Advanced
Military Science
Students with two years of coursework remaining, but who have
not completed basic military science, are eligible to be considered
for selection into the advanced military science program. Those
selected under the provisions of the two-year advanced program
must satisfactorily complete a basic summer camp of six weeks
78
duration prior to entering the advanced program or must enroll in
the condensed summer school phase of the basic course. This latter
program consists of six, two-hour courses given during the summer
quarter. A student may take other courses during this session.
Upon successful completion of the military science courses, they
will be placed in the advanced course. Students attending the basic
camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are paid at active army rates and
given a travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Advanced Summer Camp
Students contracting to pursue the advanced courses are re-
quired to attend advanced summer camp, normally between their
junior and senior academic years at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Students attending this camp are paid at active army rates and
given travel allowance from their home to camp and return.
Financial Assistance
All advanced cadets are paid a subsistence allowance of $100 per
month while enrolled in the advanced course.
Scholarship Program
Each year the U.S. Army awards one-, two- and three-year schol-
arships to outstanding young men and women participating in the
Army ROTC program who desire careers as regular Army officers.
The Army pays tuition, fees, books and laboratory expenses incur-
red by the scholarship student and, in addition, each student re-
ceives $100 per month for the academic year. Individuals desiring
to compete for these scholarships should apply to the Army Milit-
ary Science Department at Armstrong State.
Army ROTC Uniforms, Books and Supplies
Students enrolling in the Army ROTC program will be issued U.S.
Army uniforms, books and supplies by the Military Science De-
partment. No fees or deposits of any kind will be required. Uniforms
must be returned before commissioning or upon disenrollment
from the ROTC program.
Army ROTC Courses (MIL)
The basic course of six quarters duration consists of two hours of
classroom work per week. In the classroom, the student acquires
knowledge of military organization, weapons, tactics, basic milit-
ary skills, history and customs. In field training exercises, potential
for leadership is progressively developed.
The advanced course consists of three hours of classroom work
per week for two quarters in the third and fourth years. During the
spring quarter prior to advanced camp the student will enroll in
MIL 303 to prepare for attendance at Advanced Camp. This two-
hour course is normally taken during the third year. History 357
(American Military History) is normally taken spring quarter of
79
the third year but with permission of department can be taken
during second or fourth year. One quarter of the senior year must
include an elective approved by the Military Science Department.
The coursework during the advanced course emphasizes
techniques and management and leadership and the fundamen-
tals and dynamics of the military team. Field training exercises
provide the student with applied leadership experiences.
Minor Concentration
The department offers a minor in Military Science. The program
is designed to prepare the student for a commission in the United
States Army and is offered to, but not required of, those students
participating in the advanced course of Army ROTC instruction.
Whatever the major, a Military Science minor will strengthen the
student's management, leadership, and interpersonal communica-
tion skills. The minor requires:
Fourteen (14) credit hours with grades of "C" or better in the
following upper division military science courses: 301, 302, 303, 401,
402; Hist. 357 and five (5) additional credit hours of coursework
approved by the department.

The Major in Biology
The major in biology consists of Biology 101, 102, Botany 203,
Zoology 204, and at least 40 quarter hours credit in biology courses
(botany, zoology, etc.) numbered 300 or above. The majority of the
courses in the major numbered 300 or above must be taken in the
Biology Department at Armstrong State College.
In addition, biology majors must complete elementary statistics
and the course sequence in organic chemistry (15 quarter hours).
The course in general college physics (15 quarter hours) is strongly
recommended and should be considered essential for those who
expect to continue the study of biology beyond the B.S. degree.
Each student acquiring a major in biology must include in his
program the following courses: Biology 370; Biology 480; Botany
410 or Zoology 410; one course in botany numbered 300 or above,
other than Botany 410; and one course in zoology numbered 300 or
above, other than Zoology 410. If credit for any of the first three
required units is transferred to Armstrong from another college,
the department may require that it be validated by examination.
To be admitted to courses in biology above the freshman level
(those numbered 200 or above), the student must have completed
the prerequisites for each with at least a grade of "C" for each
prerequisite. To be eligible for a B.S. degree in biology the student
must have a grade of at least "C" for all upper division courses
(those numbered 300 or above) in biology.
Beginning students who have successfully completed strong
courses in biology in high school are advised to take examinations
for advanced placement or for credit for Biology 101 and and/or
Biology 102. Arrangements to take these examinations may be
made with the head of the department.
In order to receive Core Curriculum credits for the biology
laboratory science sequence by taking biology in the Savannah
State- Armstrong exchange program, a student must take the EN-
TIRE sequence of ten quarter hours either at Armstrong State
College or at Savannah State College.
Students majoring in biology may concurrently complete all
pre-medical, pre-dental, and/or pre-veterinary requirements and
all requirements for secondary teaching certification in science
(biology).
By careful use of electives a student majoring in biology may
concurrently acquire a second major in chemistry (i.e., he may take
a "double major"). This program is recommended for pre-
professional students. It does require 10 to 20 quarter hours credit
above the minimum required for graduation. Ask the department
head.
Students majoring in biology and/or pursuing a pre-professional
program should work closely with an assigned departmental ad-
visor in planning their undergraduate programs.

and Stratton; Associate Professor Whiten; Assistant Professsors
Pestel, Jaynes; Instructor Goette.
The department offers one degree program, the Bachelor of Sci-
ence with a major in chemistry, designed to give depth in the fields
of chemistry, yet flexible enough to accommodate a range of career
goals. Students majoring in chemistry may concurrently complete
all pre-medical and/or pre-dental requirements and all require-
ments for secondary teaching certification in science (chemistry).
By careful use of electives a student majoring in chemistry may
concurrently acquire a second major in biology (i.e., he may take a
"double major"). This program is recommended for pre-
professional students. It does require 10 to 20 quarter hours credit
above the minimum required for graduation.
The department participates in the Dual Degree Program of
Armstrong State College and the Georgia Institute of Technology
under which students may earn simultaneously the B.S. degree in
chemistry from Armstrong and the Bachelor's degree from Georgia
Tech in a related field, such as chemical engineering. Students in-
terested in learning more about the chemistry degree program or
any course offered by the department should contact the depart-
ment head. Any student who plans to pursue a degree in chemistry
should contact the department head as early as possible for ad-
visement and academic planning.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND
POLITICAL SCIENCE
Professor Roger K. Warlick, Head; Professors Beecher, Burnett,
Coyle, Duncan, Gross, Lanier, McCarthy, and Newman; Associate
Professors Arens and Patterson, Rhee and Stone; Assistant Pro-
fessors Boney, Comaskey; Instructor Robertson.
All students are reminded that any who receive degrees from the
University System of Georgia are required to demonstrate profi-
ciency in U.S. and Georgia History and Constitutions. This re-
quirement may be met by the successful completion of Political
Science 113 and History 251 or 252 or may be exempted by examina-
tion with credit awarded. See "Academic Regulations" section.
The Department offers the following major degree programs:
B.A., History
B.A., Political Science
and in cooperation with the School of Education, the following
programs leading to secondary school teacher certification:
B.A. History (with certification)
B.A. Political Science (with certification)
B.S. Ed., Secondary Education, History Concentration
B.S. Ed., Secondary Education, Political Science Con-
centration
and: M.ED., History (See Graduate Catalogue for T-5 pro-
grams)
M.ED., Political Science (See Graduate Catalogue for
T-5 programs)
In addition, there are minor programs available on the following
fields:
History
International Studies
Museum Studies
Political Science
Preservation Studies
Public Administration
Russian Studies
A major in Political Science or History is most useful to those who
plan to enter teaching, library or archival work, publishing, jour-
nalism, historic preservation, museology, historic site administra-
tion, or such professional fields as international business, law or
theology. Either major is also a desirable foundation for oppor-
tunities in or related to government (e.g., civil and foreign service,
A.I.D., U.S.I.A., ACTION, teaching abroad, etc.) Beyond these
fields there is an enormous variety of organizations (local, national,
and international) whose philanthropic, sectarian, or economic in-
terests require people with the skills and sensitivity cultivated by a
major in History or Political Science.
Majors in History
The major in History may take either of two forms: History or
History (T-4 Certification). Regardless of the option chosen, how-
ever, students majoring in history should satisfy the college core
115
requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree during the Freshman
and Sophomore years. To complete the major requires, beyond
Western Civilization (History 114-115) and U.S. History (History
251-252), forty quarter hours from courses numbered 300 or above
(with grades of "C" or better), including History 300. Students
should register for History 300 in the Sophomore or early in the
Junior year, or in the first possible quarter after choosing to major
in History.
In History per se, the major program must also include: (a) 25
quarter hours as approved by faculty advisor in related fields such
as anthropology, history of art and music, economics, literature,
political science, philosophy, psychology, sociology, or statistics;
and (b) a fifteen quarter hour foreign language sequence, or profi-
ciency in a language through the 103 level. Students who con-
template graduate work in history, however, are strongly advised
to continue their linguistic study beyond this elementary level. The
history faculty will consider substitutions only when compelling
reasons argue against fulfilling the language requirement and only
when the proposed substitute offers an additional research skill or
a study in depth of a foreign culture. In selecting course work, a
student may emphasize the history of one particular area (e.g.,
U.S., European, or Russian-Asian-African-Latin American), but
must complete at least ten quarter hours of history outside the area
of concentration.
In History (Certification) the program takes a more structured
form in order to meet criteria for the Georgia Teacher's Profes-
sional Four- Year Certificate (T-4). Students in this program are,
therefore, urged to establish contact with the Department early in
their college work so as to be directed to the appropriate academic
advisor.
Opportunities for Independent Study work exist in all three con-
centration areas, but no more than 10 such hours may be counted
among the forty (40) upper division history hours required for the
majors in History and History (Certification).

Majors in Political Science
A major in Political Science may take three distinctly differing
forms: Political Science, Public Administration, or Political Science
(Certification).
All students majoring in Political Science, regardless of the op-
tion chosen, should satisfy the college core requirements for the
Bachelor of Arts during their Freshman and Sophomore years.
To complete a Political Science major requires, beyond American
Government (113), forty quarter hours of upper division courses in
the field (with grades of "C" or better). Further, the program must
include at least one course from each of the following groups:
I. American Political Institutions
II. International Relations
III. Political Theory
IV. Comparative Government
The major's program must also include Mathematics 220, and at
least 25 hours of course-work in such fields as Economics, History,
Geography, Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Psychol-
ogy, or Sociology.
The Political Science major allows the option of a foreign lan-
guage (French or German preferred) through the 103 level or a
sequence of computer science courses. Students who contemplate
graduate work in Political Science, however, are strongly advised
to take the foreign language option and to continue their linguistic
study beyond the 103 level.
The programs in Public Administration and Political Science
(Certification) are more structured in order to prepare students
adequately to meet the demands of their professions and of appro-
priate licensing agencies. The Certification option, for example,
when completed according to the plan (below), meets all criteria for
the Four- Year Certificate (T-4) of the State of Georgia Department
of Education.

Minor Concentrations
History
The minor concentration in History is both simple and practical.
It is practical because the notation of a History minor on the trans-
cript indicates to an employer that the applicant has some solid
liberal arts background with its accompanying insight into the de-
velopment and functioning of modern society and that the applic-
ant has made an extra effort to refine research and writing skills so
essential to dealing with that society. Whatever the major one
chooses, a minor in History will strengthen the student's academic
record. The minor is simple because of its requirements:
Twenty (20) hours of upper division History courses (300 level or
higher) with grades of "C" or better.
Russian Studies
The department offers an interdisciplinary minor in Russian
Studies which requires 20 hours at the intermediate and advanced
levels.
Hours
1. Russian 201 (assumes completion of Russian 101, 102, and
103 as prerequisites); Political Science 349 (Comparative
Government — Soviet Union) 10
2. Choice of ten hours from:
History 329, 330, 428, 431, 481 (Independent Study in Russian
History); Comparative Literature 400 (Topics in Russian Litera-
ture); Political Science 440 (Independent Study in Comparative
Government — Soviet Union); History 435 10
Museum Studies and Preservation Studies
The department also offers two professional minors in
Museum Studies and Preservation Studies. Each of these
minors requires 25 hours, including HIS 300 and 20 additional
hours, as follows:
Museum Studies: MPS 410, 411, 412, 495 or 402.
Preservation Studies: MPS 412, 420, 421, or 422, 401 or 498.
These specialized programs are designed to be appropriate
professional additions to majors in a variety of related fields
such as Art History, Anthropology, American Studies, History,
and Public Administration.
Students who hope to work in history-related fields upon
graduation should consider adding a minor in Museum or Pre-
servation studies. Through this program unique opportunities
are provided for qualified students to gain practical experience
while making a realistic assessment of the possibilities offered
by their field of interest. Cooperative arrangements with His-
toric Savannah Foundation, Georgia Historical Society, Savan-
nah Landmark Project, Oatland Island Center, and with a
number of museums and historical sites, such as Telfair
Adademy, Ft. Pulaski, Juliette Low Center, and Ft. King
George, permit placement of students in positions relating to:
(a) archival and manuscript curation,
123
(b) historic site administration and interpretation,
(c) museum studies, and
(d) historic preservation
Political Science
The minor in Political Science noted on a student's transcript
indicates to a potential employer that the applicant for a posi-
tion has some solid liberal arts background with its accompany-
ing insight into the development and functioning of modern so-
ciety. It also indicates that the applicant has made extra effort
to refine the research and writing skills essential in dealing with
that society. Whatever the major, a Political Science minor will
strengthen the student's academic record. The minor requires
twenty (20) hours of upper division Political Science courses
(300 level or higher) with grades of "C" or better. At least one
course must be taken from each of the special areas noted in the
description of the major in Political Science.
International Relations
Requirements: 25 hours with a grade of "C" or better from the
following 300-1+00 level courses.*
1. Required course: 5 qtr. hrs.
POS 329 (International Relations)
2. Any one course from the following: 5 qtr. hrs.
POS 325 (International Organization)
POS 326 (International Law)
3. Any one course from the following: 5 qtr. hrs.
POS 320 (International Relations: The Far East)
POS 341 (Politics of Developing Nations)
POS 346 (Comparative Government: East Asia)
POS 348 (Comparative Government: Western Europe)
POS 349 (Comparative Government: Soviet Union)
4. Any two courses from the following: 10 qtr. hrs.
HIS 321 (Modern China)
HIS 330 (Modern Russia)
HIS 350 (Europe in the 20th Century)
HIS 355 (Studies in American Diplomacy II)
HIS 435 (History of Russian Foreign Policy)
HIS 436 (European Diplomatic History)
POS 429 (American Foreign Policy)
TOTAL 25 qtr. hrs.
Public Administration
To achieve a minor in Public Administration a student must
complete the following 25 hrs. with grades of C or better in each
course:
POS 300, and PA 304, 401, 403, and 418.
This assumes the sufficient competency in any one modern foreign language at
least through the 103 level as determined by the appropriate national standard-
ized test.
